When I was young,
I spent my summer days playin' on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin' on the steel
took me out, took me back.
Big Train from Memphis,
Big Train from Memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone,
gone gone gone.
Like no one before, he let out a roar,
and I just had to tag along.
Each night I went to bed with the sound in my head, and the dream was a song.
Big Train from Memphis,
Big Train from Memphis,
Now it's gone gone gone,
gone gone gone.
Well I've rode 'em in and back out again
you know what they say about trains;
But I'm tellin' you when that Memphis train came through,
This ol' world was not the same.

"Fogerty's unique California-raised-Bayou-accent." That's great!
New music!
I've never heard this before, in fact I really haven't heard much of his post-CCR work at all.
I'm enjoying this one enough to go with an initial 7 rating. The combo of the shuffling drums, single picked guitar notes, and Fogerty's unique California-raised-Bayou-accent gives this more than it should.
Long Live RP and "new" songs from 1984!!

I guess the Trainspotters among us might like this?
