"I've Got A Thing About Trains" lyrics

I've Got A Thing About Trains

Train, train, train
I've got a thing about trains

I get a sad kind of feeling
When I see a passenger train
In this fast moving world that we live in
Nobody rides them much these days

Maybe I'm a little sentimental
Cause I know that things have to change
But I'd still like to go for a train ride
Cause I've got a thing about trains

Train, train, train
You're fading from the scene
But you've had your days of glory
Train, train, train

Train, they say you're too slow for traveling
But I'm gonna miss you some day
When my little boy says, "Daddy
What was it like to ride a train?"

I'll just say, "It was a good way to travel
When things didn't move quite so fast
And I'm sorry, son, that you can't ride one
The trains are the thing of the past"

Train, train, train
You're fading from the scene
And I'm gonna mourn your passing
Train, train, train
I've got a thing about trains
