The Uncle Bill Roach Band - I Like Trains текст песни

sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
right near the Texas border
traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
I took it to the border
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

Chorus:
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

now you think I've got someone new
but darlin that ain't true
I could never love another woman besides you
its not some dewy-eyed
darlin darling thats gonna drive you insane
but anymore I'd be listenin for
the sound of a big ol train

chorus
