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 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 Chorus Bridge: Now you think I’ve got someone new But darlin that ain’t true 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
