Colladay Lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rain 
My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a train 
I asked of the conductor where this ol' train was bound 
He punched my ticket then he whispered "Memphis town" 
But there ain't no train to 
Memphis anymore 
You've got to take the highway when you go 
Them rusty tracks from 
Nashville lay beside that stretch of road 
But there ain't no train to 
Memphis any more 
Well I pinched myself and crossed my heart to see if it was real 
Or was I just imagining the grinding of the wheels 
I swore I heard that whistle and the clickity clack 
As I rode that phantom streamline on a west bound track 
Because there ain't no train 
Well we cruised into the delta like we woke up from a dream 
I felt a bit confused cause 
I was blinded by the steam 
I said "I come from Nashville and I just got off the train" 
And that driver looked at me as if he thought 
I was insane 
Because there ain't no train
