Caught the midnight train 
I go hustling through the night 
I caught the midnight train 
I go hustling through the night 
Gonna jump off north of 
Memphis When my hometown's out of sight 
They say there's only the 
Devil waiting 
In the big city way up there 
They say there's only the 
Devil waiting for me 
In the big city way up there 
What they don't seem to know 
What I been through 
I just don't care, no 
Gonna get me one of them 
Shiny new electric guitars 
I'm gonna get me one of them 
Shiny new electric guitars 
All my best friends say 
Well, that's how they're gonna know who you are 
Electric Memphis 
Electric Memphis 
Blues Electric 
Memphis Electric 
Memphis Blues 
Electric Memphis 
See me coming through
