Intro:
[Am] [E] [Am] [E]
[Am]Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
[E]right near the Texas border
[E]traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
I [E7]took it to the [Am]shoulder
I [Am]stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
I [F]shook the gravel loose
I [E]missed the train but I was happy with
a [E7]glimpse of the [A]caboose
Chorus:
Cause I like [Am]trains
I like [F]fast trains
I like [E]trains that [E7]call out through the [Am]rain
I like [Am]trains
I like [F]sad trains
I like [E]trains that [E7]whisper your [Am]name
[Am]I was born on a greyhound bus
[E]My momma was a diesel engine
they [E]tried to put me behind the wheel
[E7]but I wouldn't let [Am]them.
You [Am]should have seen the look in their eyes
and [F]how it turned to tears
when I [E]finally told them [E7]I wanna be an [Am]Engineer
Chorus:
Cause I like [Am]trains
I like [F]fast trains
I like [E]trains that [E7]call out through the [Am]rain
I like [Am]trains
I like [F]sad trains
I like [E]trains that [E7]whisper your [Am]name
[F]now you think I've got someone new
but [G]darlin' that ain't true
[F]I could never love another [E]woman besides [E7]you
[Am]It's not some dewy-eyed
darlin',[F]darlin', darlin' that's gonna drive you insane
[E]but anymore I'd be listenin' for
the [E7]sound of a big ol' [Am]train
Chorus:
Cause I like [Am]trains
I like [F]fast trains
I like [E]trains that [E7]call out through the [Am]rain
I like [Am]trains
I like [F]sad trains
I like [E]trains that [E7]
whisper your [Am]name, [E7]whisper your [Am]name
