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
