A Train Left For Memphis Lyrics - Singles - John & Audrey Wiggins

(George Teren/Don Pfrimmer/Tim Buffert) 

I'm too far west of the Mississippi 

and so far north there's a foot of snow 

How I wish you could be here with mme 

I didn't want to, I had to go 

I got the feeling when we hung up 

That you miss me less and less 

Long distance loving ain't enough 

So I guess the question is 

If a train left for Memphis at four in the morning 

Would ninety miles an hour be fast enough 

With two thousand miles and six states to cover 

Would you still be waiting up 

If a train left for Memphis, would it be too late for us 

I've dropped you cards and sent you flowers 

And all the letters there's time to write 

I hope my name in the darkest hour 

Is still the last thing on your lips tonight 

I've gotta make up all the ground that too much distance brings 

I'm packing my bags and I'm leaving town 

God I wish these rails had wings
