Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia right near the Texas border Traffic was stopped at a railway line I took it to the shoulder I stoked the pedal, I put it to the metal I shook the gravel loose Traffic was stopped but I was happy with a glimpse of the caboose
'Cause I like trains I like fast trains I like trains 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 mama was a diesel engine They tried to put me behind the wheel but I wouldn't let them You should've seen the look in their eyes and how it turned to tears When I finally told them I wanna be an engineer
'Cause I like trains I like fast trains I like trains Call out through the rain I like trains I like sad trains I like trains That whisper your name
Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ah
I like trains I like fast trains I like trains Call out through the rain I like trains I like sad trains I like trains That whisper your name
