Sittin' in a taxi backseat
Waitin' on the light to turn green
Got a letter in my wallet
With an Elvis stamp on it
Talkin' 'bout your life down on Beale Street
Livin' in an Amtrak flashback
Everything you had in a sky blue backpack
And the last look you gave me
How I swore it wouldn't phase me
But it's damn sure gettin' to me now
Girl, you ought to see me now
I'm runnin' through the station
Runnin' out of time
Gonna catch up with you
On this westbound line
It's a one way track,
There ain't no going back if I miss this
Last train to Memphis
I know it may be crazy
But I've just got to see this thing through
There's an eighties song playin'
On an A. M station
Sayin, "Boy, she's waitin' there for you"
God, I hope it's true
I'm runnin' through the station
Runnin' out of time
Gonna catch up with you
On this westbound line
It's a one way track,
There ain't no going back if I miss this
Last train to Memphis
There ain't no turnin' back
No, I can't get you back if I miss this
Ooh, if I miss this
So I'm the last train to Memphis
I'm on the last train to Memphis
I can see the tracks, baby
I can almost hear you say
How much you miss me, girl
I can see your pretty smile
I can almost hear you say
How much you want to kiss me, girl
I'm on the last train to Memphis
Yeah, I'm on the last train to Memphis
