Lyrics
I caught the night train in the rain at a truck stop I'd been working for a livin by pushin a mop It started in Memphis It started in Memphis When you can't say it you can sing it out loud When I got to Memphis all I had were the clothes on my back For a while I went homeless on my cap I wore the Union Jack It started in Memphis It started in Memphis When you can't say it you can sing it out loud (bridge) Times when I'm dreamin I see that ole shotgun shack When I left Tupelo I never looked back I heard a new sound on the radio rollin like smoke It was true like the blues it was strong as an Oak It started in Memphis It started in Memphis When I you can't say it you can sing it out loud (repeat bridge) (repeat verse one) end..
