Fred Eaglesmith - I like trains

^AmSixteen miles from Arkadelphia ^Eright near the Texas border ^Etraffic was stopped at a railway crossing I ^E7took it to the ^Amshoulder I ^Amstoked the kettle I put it to the metal I ^Fshook the gravel loose I ^Emissed the train but I was happy with a ^E7glimpse of the ^Acaboose

Cause I like ^Amtrains I like ^Ffast trains I like ^Etrains that ^E7call out through the ^Amrain I like ^Amtrains I like ^Fsad trains I like ^Etrains that ^E7whisper your ^Amname

^AmI was born on a greyhound bus ^EMy momma was a diesel engine they ^Etried to put me behind the wheel ^E7but I wouldn't let ^Amthem. You ^Amshould have seen the look in their eyes and ^Fhow it turned to tears when I ^Efinally told them ^E7I wanna be an ^AmEngineer

Cause I like ^Amtrains I like ^Ffast trains I like ^Etrains that ^E7call out through the ^Amrain I like ^Amtrains I like ^Fsad trains I like ^Etrains that ^E7whisper your ^Amname

^Fnow you think I've got someone new but ^Gdarlin' that ain't true ^FI could never love another ^Ewoman besides ^E7you ^AmIt's not some dewy-eyed darlin',^F darlin' that's gonna drive you insane ^Ebut anymore I'd be listenin' for the ^E7sound of a big ol' ^Amtrain

Cause I like ^Amtrains I like ^Ffast trains I like ^Etrains that ^E7call out through the ^Amrain I like ^Amtrains I like ^Fsad trains I like ^Etrains that ^E7whisper your ^Amname, ^E7whisper your ^Amname
