Story behind the song
Reminisces of a young boy who used to race the steam trains on the field by the railway track as his Dad watched.
Lyrics
RACING THE TRAINS.
Words & Music By Davy Riley.
When I was young I’d walk with my Pa,
Down from the ridge to the old railroad yard.
Wait for the roar of the train on the track,
Get on my marks and I wouldn’t look back.
CHORUS.
Racing the trains as they speed by,
Run like the wind I could hear my Pa cry.
Fast as I can til’ the last carriage ends.
I know I won’t win but I’ll try once again.
Racing the trains.
We would both laugh in the face of defeat,
A token of happiness I’ll always keep.
Here in my heart I believe we both won,
Love from a Father with love from a son.
CHORUS.
Racing the trains as they speed by,
Run like the wind I could hear my Pa cry.
Fast as I can til’ the last carriage ends.
I know I won’t win but I’ll try once again.
Racing the trains.
And the trains now they have all gone.
Time moves on swiftly but memories live on.
CHORUS.
Racing the trains as they speed by,
Run like the wind I could hear my Pa cry.
Fast as I can til’ the last carriage ends.
I know I won’t win but I’ll try once again.
Racing the trains as they speed by,
Run like the wind I could hear my Pa cry.
Fast as I can til’ the last carriage ends.
I know I won’t win but I’ll try once again.
Racing the trains.
Racing the trains.
