[Intro]
Am E Am
[Verse 1]
Am E
Sixteen miles from Arkadelphia, right near the Texas border
Am
Traffic was stopped at a railway line, I took it to the shoulder
E
I stoked the pedal, I put it to the metal, I shook the gravel loose
Am
Traffic was stopped but I was happy with a glimpse of the caboose
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause I like trains
F
I like fast trains
E
I like trains
Am
Call out through the rain
Am
I like trains
F
I like sad trains
E
I like trains
Am
That whisper your name
[Verse 2]
Am E
I was born on a Greyhound bus, my mama was a diesel engine
Am
They tried to put me behind the wheel, but I wouldn't let them
E
You should've seen the look in their eyes and how it turned to tears
Am
When I finally told them, I wanna be an engineer
[Chorus]
Am
'Cause I like trains
F
I like fast trains
E
I like trains
Am
Call out through the rain
Am
I like trains
F
I like sad trains
E
I like trains
Am
That whisper your name
[Bridge]
Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh
E Am
Ooh, ooh
E Am
Ooh-ooh-ah
[Out-Chorus]
Am
I like trains
F
I like fast trains
E
I like trains
Am
Call out through the rain
Am
I like trains
F
I like sad trains
E
I like trains
N.C.
That whisper your name
