Bridge:
The Engineers don't wave from the trains anymore
Not like they did back in
nineteen fifty four
They got computers and diesels and things
The engineers
don't wave from the trains anymore
The engineers don't wave from the trains
Verse
1:
When I was a little boy I'd hang around the tracks
Watching them trains goin'
to Louisville and back
I had my dreams and I had my plans
I was gonna
be an engineer man
Repeat
Bridge
Verse
2:
Them big old trains used to chug a chug and spew
They were my heroes
and they knew that I knew
No matter how far they snaked down the track
They'd go some where and trun around and come back
Repeat
Bridge
Verse 3:
There's more important things that changed in the
world
The engineers forgot all us little boys and girls
I still get a
far away look in my eye
When I hear an old train in the night
Tag:
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore
The engineers don't wave
from the trains
