lyrics

Last Train to Memphis written by Bobby Charles
Take the last train to Memphis
Ride the Tennessee Eagle
That lonesome whistle in the night
Echoes off the river

Last train to Memphis
Get on the southbound Eagle
The King is gone but he still lives on
Deep in the heart of the people

Take the last train to Memphis
We gonna have a real good time
Memphis sits on top of the river
Right on the Arkansas line

Take the last train to Memphis
Put on your dancin' shoes
They got a lot of good music in Memphis
That's why she's the home of the blues

Ride the Eagle
Get on board
Ride the Eagle all night long
Next stop Graceland's door

Ride the Eagle
Get on board
Cross the Arkansas border by midnight
Next stop Graceland's door

Last train to Memphis
You oughta take that ride
Feel somethin' new that you never knew
Existed in you deep inside

Believe me when I say when you walk away
The tears 'll fill your eyes
You can bet you'll never forget
It'll stay with you the rest of your life.

Take the last train to Memphis
Ride the Tennessee Eagle
The King is gone but he still lives on
Deep in the heart of the people

Ride the Eagle
Get on board
Ride the Eagle all night long
Next stop Graceland's door

Ride the Eagle
Get on board
Cross the Arkansas border by midnight
Next stop Graceland's door

Ride the Eagle Get on board
Ride the Eagle Get on board
Last train to Memphis
Last train to Memphis
Last train to Memphis
Last train to Memphis
