The lonesome oak tree held its fire into November He watched the last brown leaf Hit the ground and blow a way An evening gunshot lets him know the hunt is over A familiar cold moves in Some where between snow and rain Just last spring you know his heart was burning Before his Lynnville love hit the road to chase her dream Now he thinks of her each night and in the morning 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 Cause I'm coming in with someone else He's a quiet man, the neighbors say But his pain won't go a way So for better or worse he's going down To meet the Lynnville train He blew a tire on the road 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 Now she's coming home with a stranger To settle down in Lynnville town [Chorus] Steel wheels scream, the whistle blows, His heart is breaking She steps onto the platform, her new love by her side He reaches in his coat, his had 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 Lynnville train And moving on to someplace 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 Lynnville Train
