Robert Earl Keen song covered by Wade Bowen on "Undone: A Musicfest Tribute To Robert Earl Keen"
VERSE 1
The Glonesome oak tree held its fire into DNovember
He Amwatched the last brown leaf
Hit Cthe ground and blow a Dway
An eGvening gunshot lets him know the hunt is ovDer
A Amfamiliar cold moves in
Some where between Csnow and raDin
Just laGst spring you know his heart was Dburning
BAmefore his Lynnville love hit the road to Cchase her dDream
NoGw he thinks of her each night and in the mornDing
HAme laces his coffee cup with whiskey iCnstead of crDeam
CHORUS
HCer story is she's changed her mind
She juGst can't help herself
She wrote pAmlease don't meet me at the Lynnville train
Cause I'm Ccoming in with someone elDse
HCe's a quiet man, the neighbors say
But his pGain won'G/Ft go a wayEm  
So fCor better or worse he's goinGg down
To Dmeet the Lynnville trGain
VERSE 2
He Gblew a tire on the road down to the Dstation
He Amjacked it up and thought out loud, 
"She Cnever should have let me Ddown."
JuGst six months ago she vowed she was Dleaving
Now she's Amcoming home with a stranger
To sCettle down in Lynnville Dtown
CHORUS
HCer story is she's changed her mind
She juGst can't help herself
She wrote pAmlease don't meet me at the Lynnville train
Cause I'm Ccoming in with someone elDse

But his pGain won'G/Ft go a wayEm  
So fCor better or worse he's goinGg down
To Dmeet the Lynnville trGain
VERSE 3
StGeel wheels scream, the whistle blows,
His heart is bDreaking
She Amsteps onto the platform,
with her Cnew love by her sDide
He Greaches in his coat, his hand is shakiDng
The Amtime has finally come. yeah, this Creally is goodbDye
ENDING CHORUS
HCis story is he's changed his mind,

HCe's headed for a new life doAmwn the line
DOn the Lynnville GTrain
YCeah, for better or worse, Ghe's leaving town

VERSE 1

The lonesome oak tree held its fire into November

He watched the last brown leaf

C D

Hit the ground and blow a way

G D

An evening gunshot lets him know the hunt is over

A familiar cold moves in

C D

Some where between snow and rain

G D

Just last spring you know his heart was burning

Am C D

Before his Lynnville love hit the road to chase her dream

G D

Now he thinks of her each night and in the morning

Am C D

He laces his coffee cup with whiskey instead of cream

CHORUS

Her story is she's changed her mind

She just can't help herself

She wrote please don't meet me at the Lynnville train

C D

Cause I'm coming in with someone else

He's a quiet man, the neighbors say

G G/F Em

But his pain won't go a way

C G

So for better or worse he's going down

D G

To meet the Lynnville train

VERSE 2

G D

He blew a tire on the road down to the station

He jacked it up and thought out loud,

"She never should have let me down."

G D

Just six months ago she vowed she was leaving

Now she's coming home with a stranger

To settle down in Lynnville town

The time has finally come. yeah, this really is goodbye

His story is he's changed his mind,

He just can't help himself

So he's getting on board the Lynnville train

And moving on to someplace else

As the train pulls out he watches them both

Standing in the pouring rain

C Am

He's headed for a new life down the line

Yeah, for better or worse, he's leaving town
