Townes Van Zandt Lyrics
 | | Whoever dubbed George Jones "King of the Broken Hearts" never heard Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997). His haunting verity made him more than what some considered Americana's own Nick Drake -- Van Zandt was a poet with a burning soul. Although he never had a radio hit, many other country music artists found success with songs "Pancho and Lefty" and "If I Needed You." Though he occasionally delved into more upbeat, light-hearted, bluesy numbers, he is best known for lamenting, wind-swept, road-written songs. Van Zandt had a way of making painfully honest lyrics stick to naturally birthed melodies that attached themselves to the heart of any listener with an ounce of humanity. |

Townes Van Zandt Song Lyric:
Goin’ Down to Memphis
By townes van zandt
Goin’ down to memphis
Maybe get my ashes hauled
I can drive me a car
But I don’t need no car at all
I beleive I’ll ride that memphis cannon ball
She runs so fast
You can’t catch her from behind
Ah, she runs so fast
You can’t catch her from behind
But I’ll be there waitin’
For that little memphis girl of mine
Why I left
Guess I’ll never know
Why I left
Man, I guess I’ll never know
Sittin’ here thinkin’
I’m one dumb-ass so and so
I’m headed back
That memphis train
She leaves real soon
The memphis train
Sound like she leaves real soon
Got nothin’ to guide me
’cept the color of the moon
Hangin’ over memphis
Headed down
Where the mississippi runs
Boys I’m headed home
Back where the mississippi runs
I hear there’s some lovin’ there
Try to get me some
Headed down to memphis
Maybe get my ashes hauled
Just don’t know
Why I ever left at all
I’m gettin’ on that train, man,
I ain’t even gonna call
Be there ’fore the break of day
Get This Ringtone
