I'D LIKE TO BE A TRAIN
As recorded by Larry Sparks
(From the 1987 Album SILVER REFLECTIONS)
[Intro]
G C G C G
[Chorus]
G C
If I could be what I’d like to be
G
I’d like to be a train
C
Cause trains don’t have no heart to break
G
And they don’t feel no pain
[Verse 1]
G C
If love was wine that sweet red wine
G
I drink away my pain
C
I’d drink until my heart was filled
G
With love instead of shame
[Chorus]
G C
If I could be what I’d like to be
G
I’d like to be a train
C
Cause trains don’t have no heart to break
G
And they don’t feel no pain
[Mandolin Solo]
G C G C G
[Verse 2]
G C
Why can’t love be like a hickory tree?
G
That stands so strong and tall
C
Why can’t I find a heart that’s true?
G
Who’ll never say goodbye
[Chorus]
G C
If I could be what I’d like to be
G
I’d like to be a train
C
Cause trains don’t have no heart to break
G
And they don’t feel no pain
[Fiddle Solo]
G C G C G
[Verse 3]
G C
Oh what a shame you’ll never change
G
I guess I always knew
C
But there’s no girl in the whole wide world
G
I’d love as much as you
[Chorus]
G C
If I could be what I’d like to be
G
I’d like to be a train
C
Cause trains don’t have no heart to break
G
And they don’t feel no pain
[Outro]
