Fred Eaglesmith - I Like Trains Lyrics
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia, right near the Texas borderTraffic was stopped at a railway crossing, took it to the shoulderI stoked the kettle, I put it to the metalI shook the gravel looseI missed the train but I was happy withA glimpse of the caboose'Cause I like trainsI like fast trainsI like trainsThat call out through the rainI like trainsI like sad trainsI like trains that whisper your nameI was born on a Greyhound busMy mama was a diesel engineThey tried to put me behind the wheelBut I wouldn't let themYou shoulda seen the look in their eyesAnd how it turned to tearsWhen I finally told themI want to be an engineer'Cause I like trainsI like fast trainsI like trains that call out through the rainI like trainsI like sad trainsI like trains that whisper your nameNow, you think that I've got someone newBut darlin', that ain't trueI could never love another woman besides youIt's not some dewy eyed darlin', darlin' That's gonna drive you insaneBut any more, I'd be listening forThe sound of a big old train'Cause I like trainsI like fast trainsI like trainsThat call out through the rainI like trainsI like sad trainsI like trains that whisper your nameI like trains that whisper, whisper your name
