If Love Was A Train

B7

If love was a train, I think I would ride a slow one.

E7                                        B7

One that would ride thru the night making every stop.

   F#7              E7                                      B7

If love was a train, I would feel no pain and I would never get off.

 

If love was a train, I think I would ride me a long one.

Hear me talking, I'm talking fifty boxcars long.

Aw, what's the use?

Most trains these days ain't got no engine, much less no caboose.

Woo! Woo!

 

F#7                       E7                     B7

Look out here she comes!  Look out there she goes!

 

If love was a train, I'd throw my body on her tracks.

If love was a train, I'd throw my body right down on her tracks.

If love was a train, I would feel no pain as she

Rolled right down my back.

 

But love ain't no train, more like a broncin' bull.

And the most you gots fifteen seconds in the saddle.

         F#7                            E7

And even if you manage to ride, you are all shaken up inside.

E7                                            B7

And it's gonna be a long time before you ride that bull again.

 

If love was a train...  But love ain't a train...
