Robert Earl Keen, Jr. (born January 11, 1956 in Houston, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter. Growing up, Keen was interested in music, sports, movies and writing. He attended Texas A&M University, enrolling in the school of journalism. Disappointed in the College Station, Texas music scene, he began playing guitar and learned to read and write music, basing his style on folk, country, blues and roots rock. In 1977 he rented a house from landlord Jack Boyett, where his neighbor was a then-unknown Lyle Lovett.

CDGEm Just Across the Blue Ridge Where the High Meadows Lay CDG And the Galax Spreads Through The New Mown Hay
CDGEm There's a Rusty Iron Bridge 'Cross a Shady Ravine AD Where the Hard Road Ends and Turns to Clay
CGEm With a Suitcase in His Hand The Lonesome Boy Stands ADD7 Gazin' at the River Slidin' by Beneath his Feet
CDGEm But the Dark Water Springs through the Black Rocks and Flows CDG Outta' sight Where the Twisted Laurel Grows
CDGEmCDG
CDGEm Past the Coal-tipple Towns in the Cold December Rain CDG Into Charleston Runs the New River Train
CDGEm Where the Hillsides are Brown, and the Broad Valleys Stained AD By a Hundred Thousand Lives of Work and Pain
CGEm In a Tar-paper Shack out of Town Across the Track ADD7 Stands an Old Used-up Man Trying to Call Something Back
CDGEm But his Old Memories Stained Like the City in the Haze CDG And his Days have Run Together Like the Rain
CDGEm And the Dark Water Springs Through the Black Rocks and Flows CDG Out of Sight Where the Twisted Laurel Grows
