Don't You Try to Change My Mind

Fred Eaglesmith


Outside the rain is softly falling
Raindrops falling one by one
Can't you hear the highway calling?
In the morning I'll be gone

Darling, can't you hear that whistle blowing?
Can't you hear the highway whine?
I'll be leaving in the morning
Don't you try to change my mind

Stars so many you can't count 'em
Moonlight shows me where to go
Up o'er top the sunny mountain
Through the valleys down below

Darling, can't you hear that whistle blowing?
Can't you hear the highway whine?
I'll be leaving in the morning
Don't you try to change my mind

And now the dawn is slowing breaking
I can hear the rooster crow
Darling, it's your heart I'm taking
Don't you cry for me no more

Darling, can't you hear that whistle blowing?
Can't you hear the highway whine?
I'll be leaving in the morning
Don't you try to change my mind
Don't you try to change my mind
