The Uncle Bill Roach Band - I Like Trains lyrics

rate me

sixteen miles from Arkadelphia

right near the Texas border

traffic was stopped at a railway crossing

I took it to the border

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

now you think I've got someone new

but darlin that ain't true

I could never love another woman besides you

its not some dewy-eyed

darlin darling thats gonna drive you insane

but anymore I'd be listenin for

the sound of a big ol train

chorus
