Goin Down to Memphis — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



Goin down to memphis

Maybe get my ashes hauled

I can drive me a car

But I dont need no car at all

I beleive Ill ride that memphis cannon ball





She runs so fast

You cant catch her from behind

Ah, she runs so fast

You cant catch her from behind

But Ill be there waitin

For that little memphis girl of mine





Why I left

Guess Ill never know

Why I left

Man, I guess Ill never know

Sittin here thinkin

Im one dumb-ass so and so





Im headed back

That memphis train

She leaves real soon

The memphis train

Sound like she leaves real soon

Got nothin to guide me

cept the color of the moon

Hangin over memphis





Headed down

Where the mississippi runs

Boys Im headed home

Back where the mississippi runs

I hear theres some lovin there

Try to get me some





Headed down to memphis

Maybe get my ashes hauled

Just dont know

Why I ever left at all

Im gettin on that train, man,

I aint even gonna call

Be there fore the break of day
