I've Got A Thing About Trains

I get a sad kind of feeling When I see a pa*senger 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 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 pa*sing, train, train, train 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 history, train, train, train I've got a thing about trains
