I was just killin' time
Waitin' on a train
Out back pitchin' pennies
Tryin' to stay out of the rain
Caught a Southbound freight
Down to Memphis, Tennessee
That's where my baby might be

Well I hit the ground runnin'
On the outskirts of town
Walked down by the river
Just to take a look around
Met up with a stranger
He seemed to recognize me
That's where my baby might be

Silhouette in the distance
Like I seen before
I walked down the street
And up to the door
If you drag that river
All the way to the sea
That's where my baby might be
My baby might be
