I've Got A Thing About Trains Lyrics - Bobby Bare

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 

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 

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
