Lee Wonder what these rebels would think of me Love me tender on a highway sixty one In every other car someone’s carrying a gun [Chorus] And ohhh it’s the last train to Memphis And ohhh don’t you wonder where it’s gonna take us But I gotta get back put the train on the track Stoke up the fire pick up the slack [Bridge]   It’s a land of dreams  it’s not all it seems It’s a store of Tupelo honey Down the freedom trail  on a cotton bail It’s the overnight mail               [Interlude]                       [Verse] Stonewall Jackson and Pickett’s Charge Mississippi River and life on a barge Wal Mart shopping on a Sunday afternoon Chicken fried steak couldn’t come too soon [Chorus] And ohhh it’s the last train to Memphis And ohhh don’t you wonder where it’s gonna take us But I gotta get back put the train on the track Upstairs Graceland heart attack Too many ribs right off the rack Thought I knew the answer but I never look back [Outro]                    Last train to Memphis
