Steeldrivers - Midnight Train To Memphis lyrics

Well judge looked down, gave me 40 days Instead of the fine that I could not pay Said walk right you'll soon be home Cross the line and you're on your own 40 day's of shotguns n barb wire fences 40 nights to sit and listen To the midnight train to Memphis Well now the whistle blows when the sun comes up Hit the floor keep you big mouth shut Eat your breakfast on the ground Work like hell till the sun goes down 40 days of shotguns n barb wire fences 40 nights to sit and listen To the midnight train to Memphis Well now 10 for the jury 10 for the judge 20 more to forget my grudge When I get to 39 That's the longest day in a prisoner's mind 40 days of shotguns n barb wire fences 40 nights to sit and listen To the midnight train to Memphis Midnight train to Memphis On a midnight train to Memphis
