I love the sound of a train
I love the sound of a train
The rhythm of the track
Going clickety clack
Carries me home once again
Engineer let your whistle blow
You're bringing my baby back home
Through sunshine and rain
The smiles and the pain
I love the sound of a train
My daddy was an engineer man
He drove his train all over the land
From sea to shining sea
And through the hills of Tennesee
He was an engineer man
He worked for the L&N
The New York Central and the Penn
Then he drove his train once more
Up to heaven's golden shore
He went home on a train
I've traveled this country far and wide
Riding with this guitar by my side
I gotta catch a freight
I ain't got time to wait
I've got a show in Knoxville tonight
And when my travelin' days are o'er
I'll hop on that freight train once more
I'll take one last ride
To sit by Jesus' side
I'll go home on a train
I'll take one last ride
To sit by Jesus' side
Goin' home to the sound of a train
