A Train Left For Memphis Lyrics

(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



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
