If I could be what I'd like to be
I'd like to be a train
Cause trains don't have no heart to break
And they don't feel no pain

If love was like a sweet red wine
I'd drink away my pain
I'd drink until my heart was filled
With love instead of shame

If I could be what I'd like to be
I'd like to be a train
Cause trains don't have no heart to break
And they don't feel no pain

Why can't love be like a hickory tree
That stands so strong and tall
Why can't I find a heart that's true
Who'll never say goodbye

If I could be what I'd like to be
I'd like to be a train
Cause trains don't have no heart to break
And they don't feel no pain

Oh what a shame you'll never change
I guess I always knew
But there's no boy in the whole wide world
I'd love as much as you

If I could be what I'd like to be
I'd like to be a train
Cause trains don't have no heart to break
And they don't feel no pain
