I Like Trains
Fred Eaglesmith

Am
sixteen miles from arkadelphia
E7
right near the texas border
traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
                         Am
I took it to the border
I stoked the kettle I put it to the metal
  F
I shook the gravel loose
   E
I missed the train but I was happy with
   E7                       Am
a glimpse of the caboose

(chorus)
cause I like trains
          E
I like fast trains
          E7                                               Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
I like trains
          F
I like sad trains
          E               E7
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+IBk-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


(B verse)

F
now you think I+IBk-ve got someone new
      G
but darlin+IBk- that ain+IBk-t true
F                                          E7
I could never love another woman besides you
      Am
it+IBk-s not some dewy-eyed
                                    F
darlin+IBk-, darlin+IBk- that+IBk-s gonna drive you insane
      E
but anymore I+IBk-d be listenin+IBk- for
      E7
the sound of a big ol+IBk- train
