Fred Eaglesmith – I Like Trains Chords

Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
Right near the Texas border
Traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
I 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 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

‘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 dewyeyed darlin’, darlin’
That’s gonna drive you insane
But sound of a big ol’ 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
