I Like Trains
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia, right near the Texas border
Traffic was stopped at a railway line, I took it to the shoulder
I stoked the pedal, I put it to the metal, I shook the gravel loose
Traffic was stopped but I was happy with a glimpse of the caboose
'Cause I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains
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 mama was a diesel engine
They tried to get me behind the wheel, but I wouldn't let them
You should've seen the look in their eyes and how it turned to tears
When I finally told them, I wanna be an engineer
'Cause I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains
Call out through the rain
I like trains
I like sad trains
I like trains
That whisper your name
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ah
I like trains
I like fast trains
I like trains
Call out through the rain
I like trains
I like sad trains
I like trains
That whisper your name
