G                                       C  
Well, I went out to Ashton Place, left Nashville for a while 
        G                                        D 
Took my fishin pole, some cold tall boys, and my old South Georgia smile 
G                                     C 
Saw a diner on the way there, stopped in for a bite to eat 
       F               C                 G   
You'll never guess who sat right next to me 
 
He wasn't in a shade of black, no hat upon his head 

The only way I knew it was John was that grin that he was wearin' 

He said, "Son, this ain't no diner, its a different way of life 

But if you play your song, you can come inside." 
 

      C                            G 
Cause music will keep changing, as long as grass will grow 
   D                                  G  
So put your ears to the track, you'll hear that whistle blow 
C                                G                 Em 
tell all of those pretty boys to put their guitars down 
          F         C            G 
There's a new train rollin' into town 
          F         C            G 
There's a new train rollin' into town  
 
 
Oh my cousin won't you look around this room 
Waylon's at the jukebox, and Willie?s making brew 
Robert Keen and Son Volt bringing in the newer ears 
Yes, young outlaws are always welcome here 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
So if your feeling Haggard like your on desolation road 
And your panic-strickin? brothers are starting to get old  
Just take the lead out of your shoes, sit right down and sing the blues 
And thank the Lord that trains a-comin' soon 
 
Chorus
