I LIKE TRAINS
(Glenn Sutton)

Bob Luman - 1968
Jim & Jesse - 1969


You'll find an empty coffee cup, a half smoked cigarrette
An ol' dull razor blade I used to shave before I left
You'll find a lot of little things that make big memories
Some guys like chains, but I like trains, no woman's holdin' me

My love blooms in the evenin', dies at early dawn
I'll leave before you wake so you won't cry and carry on
The slightest thought of settlin' makes me nervous as can be
Some guys like chains, but I like trains, no woman's holdin' me

I'd rather ride a freight train in the middle of the night
Than to sit beside a park place with two arms around me tight

(Instrumental Break)

When I was born they must have left out certain qualities
The things that bind a man to home and job security
I'd love to change, but I know now just how I'll always be
Some guys like chains, but I like trains, no woman's holdin' me
Some guys like chains, but I like trains, no woman's holdin' me
