Lynville Train Lyrics

Lynville Train lyrics



The lonesome oak tree held it's fire into November

We watched the last brown leaf hit the ground and blow away

An evening gun shot let's him know the hunt is over

A familiar cold moves in, somewhere between snow and rain



Just last spring you know his heart was burning

Before his Lynville love, hit the road to chase her dreams

Now he thinks of her each night and in the morning

He laces his coffee cup with whiskey instead of cream



Her story she's changed her mind, she just can't help herself

She wrote, "Please don't meet me at the Lynville train, I'm coming in with
someone else"

"He's a quiet man," the neighbors say

But his pain won't go away

So for better worse he's going down to meet the Lynville train



He blew a tire on down to the station

He jacked it up and thought out loud, "She never should have let me
down"

Just six months ago she vowed she was leaving

And now she's coming in with a stranger, to settle down in Lynville town



Her story she's changed her mind, she just can't help herself

She wrote, "Please don't meet me at the Lynville train, I'm coming in with
someone else"

"He's a quiet man," the neighbors say

But his pain won't go away

So for better worse he's going down to meet the Lynville train



Steel wheels scream, the whistles blows

His heart is aching

She steps onto the platform, her new love by her side

He reaches in his coat, his hand is shaking

The time has finally come

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 Lynville train and moving onto some place else

As the train pulls out 

He watches them both standing in the pouring rain

He's headed for a new life down the line

On the Lynville train

For better or worse he's leaving town on the Lynville train...
