D [Chorus]D G Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride?D Em A Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside?D G Is it bigger than our house? Well, how can I explainD Em A D When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" [Verse 1]D G When I was just a boy and living by the trackD Em A Us kids would gather up the coal in big old gunnysacksD G Then we heard the warning sound as the train pulled into viewD Em A D The engineer would smile and wave as she went rolling through [Verse 2]D G She blew so loud and clear, we had to cover up our earsD Em A And we counted cars just as high as we could goD G I can almost hear the steam, those big old drivers screamD Em A D A sound my little kids will never know [Chorus]D G Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride?D Em A Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside?D G Is it bigger than our house? Well, how can I explainD Em A D When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" [Verse 3]D G I guess the times have changed, kids are different nowD Em A Cause some don't even seem to know that milk comes from a cowD G My little boy can tell the names of all the baseball starsD Em A D I remember how we memorized the names on railroad cars [Verse 4]D G The Wabash and the TP, Lackawanna, the ICEm A The Nickel Plate and the good old Santa FeD G Just names out of the past, I guess they're fading fastD Em A D Every time I hear my little boy say [Chorus]D G Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride?D Em A Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside?D G Is it bigger than our house? Well, how can I explainD Em A D When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?" [Verse 5]D G We climbed into the car, drove down into townD Em A Right up to the depot house, but no one was aroundD G We searched the yard together for something I could showD Em A D But I knew there hadn't been a train for a dozen years or so [Verse 6]D G All the things I did when I was just a kidD Em A How far away those memories appearD G I guess it's plain to see they still mean a lot to meD Em A D Because my ambition was to be an engineer [Chorus]D G Daddy what's a train? Is it something I can ride?D Em A Does it carry lots of grown-up folks and little kids inside?D G Is it bigger than our house? Well, how can I explainD Em A D When my little boy and girl ask me "Daddy what's a train?"
