I met my baby on a midnight train to Memphis
She was on her way to New Orleans
Last I recall she went backwards over the fall
Sat there cursing me from the mud
And then I found myself with my head down on the track
Drivin' hard just outta St Louis on the main stream
We ran up on some rocks and hit some sand
A wheel bearing broke and my mind began to choke
I felt like I was livin' my last day
And all the while I saw the Devil sit there and smile
He said I can see my life flash be for my eyes
I guess I'm goin' down in history
I can see my soul wavin' bye bye bye
Oh please don't let my life flow so fast from me
Please don't let my life flow so fast
Waaahhhh!!! Lets go!
I can see my life flash be for my eyes
I guess I'm goin' down in history
I can see my soul wavin' bye bye bye
Oh please don't let my life flow so fast from me
Please don't let my life flow so fast
Sittin' in my car and listin' to Willie Nelson
I didn't hear the train whistle ringin' out
The engineer on hand made noise to stop the band
I just sat there and let my ghost hang out
And all the while I saw the Devil sit there and smile
He said I can see my life flash be for my eyes
I guess I'm goin' down in history
I can see my soul wavin' bye bye bye
Oh please don't let my life flow so fast from me
Please don't let my life flow so fast
