I Like Trains Lyrics

Intro:
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
right near the Texas border
traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
I took it to the shoulder
I stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
I shook the gravel loose
I missed the train but I was happy with
a glimpse of the caboose
Chorus:
Cause I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains that call out through the rain
I like trains
I like sad trains
I like trains that whisper your name
I was born on a greyhound bus
My momma was a diesel engine
they tried to put me behind the wheel
but I wouldn't let them.
You should have seen the look in their eyes
and how it turned to tears
when I finally told them I wanna be an Engineer
Chorus:
Cause I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains that call out through the rain
I like trains
I like sad trains
I like trains that whisper your name
now you think I've got someone new
but darlin' that ain't true
I could never love another woman besides you
It's not some dewy-eyed
darlin', darlin' that's gonna drive you insane
but anymore I'd be listenin' for
the sound of a big ol' train
Chorus:
Cause I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains that call out through the rain
I like trains
I like sad trains
I like trains that whisper your name, whisper your name
