I've Got a Thing About Trains

I get a sad kind of feeling when I see a passenger train

In this fast movin' world we live in nobody rides them much these days

Oh maybe I'm just sentimental cause I know that things have to change

But I still like to go for a train ride cause I've got a thing about trains

Train train train you're out of place these days

But you've had your days of glory train train train

[ ac.guitar ] Train they say you're too slow for travelin' but I'm gonna miss you some day

When my little boy says daddy what was it like to ride a train

I'll say it was a good way to travel when things didn't move quite so fast

And I'm sorry that you can't ride one but trains are the thing of the past

Train train train you're fading from the scene

But I'm gonna mourn your passing train train train

[ ac.guitar ] So if you're tired of people and buildings weary of worry and strain

Then you ought to go on a train ride and look out the window at things

Go for a ride down to Memphis the night train is still right on time

But I read in the papers this mornin' next week they're gonna take it off the line

Train train train blow your whistle proudly and loud

As you roll to your place in hist'ry train train train I've got a thing about trains
