Fred Eaglesmith - I Like Trains lyrics

Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia, right near the Texas border Traffic was stopped at a railway crossing, took it to the shoulder 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 '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 mama was a diesel engine They tried to put me behind the wheel But I wouldn't let them You shoulda seen the look in their eyes And how it turned to tears When I finally told them I want to be an engineer '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 Now, you think that I've got someone new But darlin', that ain't true I could never love another woman besides you It's not some dewy eyed darlin', darlin' That's gonna drive you insane But any more, I'd be listening for The sound of a big old train '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 like trains that whisper, whisper your name
