Am
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
E7
Right near the Texas border
E7
Traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
Am
I took it to the shoulder
Am
I stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
F
I shook the gravel loose
E
I missed the train but I was happy with
E7 Am
A glimpse of the caboose
Chorus:
Am
Cause I like trains
E7
I like fast trains
E7 Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
Am
I like trains
F
I like sad trains
E E7 Am
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
Bridge:
F
Now you think I’ve got someone new
G
But darlin that ain’t true
F E7
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
