I'm gonna take a
Southbound train to Memphis,
there's a lonesome wind
​callin' me home.
did i hear one last call
​for a Jesus?
a penny for my sins,
a nickel for my soul.

I'm goin' back to
where i was raised,
gonna find myself
in some forgotten
yesterday.
last call for Jesus,
last call for faith.
​last call for Memphis
​on that Southbound
train.

here i am,
at this empty railway
station...
but I'm not alone.
with this old guitar as
my companion,
I'll always have a song
to carry me home.
so roll on Memphis,
​take me on down the line.
I'm lookin' for salvation,
walkin' backwards  through
time...

maybe by morning,
I'll find some faith...
one more bottle of
bourbon,
and some saving
grace.
last call for me,
last call for change.
Memphis is still three
days away.

​I'm goin' back to
where i was raised,
gonna try and find
myself,
​in some forgotten
yesterday.
​last call for Jesus,
last call for faith.
​last call for Memphis,
​on that Southbound train.
