Am
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia
E7
Right near the Texas border
E7
Traffic was stopped at a railway crossing
                  Am
I took it to the shoulder
  Am
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:
             Am
Cause I like trains
       E7
I like fast trains
       E7                               Am
I like trains that call out through the rain
       Am
I like trains
       F
I like sad trains
       E           E7           Am
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


Chorus


Bridge:
        F
Now you think I’ve got someone new
    G
But darlin that ain’t true
F                           E7
I could never love another woman besides you


It’s not some dewy-eyed darlin, darlin 
That’s gonna drive you insane
But anymore I’d be listenin for
The sound of a big ol’ train

Chorus
