going back to memphis on the midnight train
back to all my roots going home again
the place where i was born with my family
back where i belong home sweet home to me.

had enough of drifting roaming every plain
time for me to change head back home again
to the place i love in Memphis Tenneesee
back to where i started is where i long to be

this time i will stay.  settle down once more
to the place i love like i did before
back to all my roots to my family
to my home sweet home waiting there for me

had enough of drifting roaming every plain
time for me to change head back home again
to the place i love in Memphis Tenneesee
back to where i started that is home to me.
