I heard a song on the radio a few weeks ago and I'm dying to find out who it is. It was a hard rock song and I'm guessing the name was "Night Train to Memphis", but all I can find on the internet is the song by Roy Acuff. Does anyone know of a band that does a song with a line similar to that in the chorus?

Kid Rock has a "Midnight Train to Memphis."

Sounds like "Train Train" by Blackfoot. It's a good song if you like southern rock.

Garnivore probably nailed it.

Yup, that's it! The version I heard was quite a bit heavier than the album version. I'll have to look for a live version somewhere...
