Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Dad[D]dy [A]Did[D]n't[G] se[D]e[G]
me take my first [A]steps as [D]a child
The [G]railroad had him [D]haulin' cows
through [Em]Texas at the [A]time
The [D]night I kicked [G]a field goal at
[A]the big homecomin' [D]game
[G]Dad was kickin' hobos off
another damned ol' [A]train
[D]Mama did her be

[Verse 2]
[G]st to do
[A]it all when Dad was [D]gone
And [G]every night she'd [D]swear he'd really
[Em]rather be [A]at home
[D]Sometimes we'd be[G]lieve her 'til
we'd [A]look in Daddy's eye[D]s
He'd [G]have that faraway look
he never could disguise
[A]

[Verse 3]
[G][Chorus]
Mama loved Daddy but
Daddy loved [A]trains
[G]The steel rails controlled him like
whiskey in his [A]veins[D]
Number two [G]diesel [A]fuel flowed
through his [D]veins[G]
Mama loved [D]Daddy [A]but Daddy

[Interlude 1]
loved trains
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Now that I've grown [G]older there's
some [A]things I understand
[D]It tak[G]es a special per[D]son
to [Em]love that kind of [A]man
In [D]ways I guess I'm [G]different but in
[A]way's I'm just [D]the same
I've [G]grown to love somebody like my
daddy loved those [A]trains

[Outro 1]
[Chorus: x2]
