Something About A Train (Feature Track)

Something About A Train
Mitch Matthews/Dawn Kenney/David Morris

VERSE 1

It rocks you like a cradle, moves you like a breeze
Shines in the distance when you see it through the trees
Calls out its arrival before it rounds the bend
The engineer is waving like a long-lost friend
Don’t know how to explain
There’s just something about a train

VERSE 2

Each car tells a story, rolling by the crossing gate
An endless line of colors from nearly every state
Coal from West Virginia gets hauled across the land
With corn from South Dakota, pickup trucks from Michigan
Don’t know to explain
There’s just something about a train

CHORUS
The mighty rumble as it passes by
The fading whistle’s lonesome farewell cry
The silhouette against the evening sky
Vivid memories remain
There’s just something about a train

VERSE 3

Every engine a reminder of a child’s simple time
When I knew every story, Casey Jones, Old Number 9
The Orange Blossom Special, the Wabash Cannonball
I dreamed I’d be a hobo so I could ride ‘em all
Don’t know how to explain
There’s just something about a train
Something about a train
