Well, there was this movie I one time About a man riding 'cross the desert and it Gregory Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a for himself The townspeople wanted to that kid down and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a pulp As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he me fair and square I want him to feel what like to every moment face his death
Well, I keep this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it blows right through me like a ball and You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are so far apart The memory of you callin' after me like a rollin' train
I can still see the day that you came to me on the desert In busted down Ford and your platform heels I could never figure out why you chose that particular to meet Ah, but you were right, it was perfect as I got in the wheel
Well, we drove car all night into San Anton' And we slept near the Alamo, your was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you came back I would gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off
Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Now I know she ain't you but she's and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the and I ain't in the mood anymore To remember the times when I was only man And she don't want to remind me, she knows this car go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we towards Amarillo We pulled up where Porter used to live He owned a wreckin' lot outside of about a mile Ruby was in the hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back She saw us come rolling up in a of dust She said, Henry ain't here but you can on in, he'll be back in a little while
she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride to where she started But she changed the subject time money came up She said, welcome to the land of the dead You could tell she was so She said, even the meets around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are y'all going, Ruby asked us with a We're all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn 'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin Ruby just smiled and said, ah, you know some never learn
Something that movie though, well I just can't get it out of my head But I remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people And a lot of them seemed to be my way

Well, they were looking for somebody with a I was the street when shots rang out I didn't know to duck or to run, so I ran We got him cornered in the churchyard, I heard shout
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Tribune Underneath it, it said, a man no alibi You went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was you Then when I saw you break down in of the judge and cry real tears It was the best I saw anybody do
Now I've always been the kind of that doesn't like to trespass But sometimes you just yourself over the line Oh if there's an original out there, I could use it right now You know, I feel pretty good, but ain't sayin' much I could a whole lot better If you were just by my side to show me how
Well, I'm standin' in line in the to see a movie starring Gregory Peck Yeah, but you know it's not the one I had in mind He's got a new one out now, I even know what it's about But I'll see him in anything so stand in line

You know, it's funny how things never out the way you had 'em planned The only we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his wasn't Henry Porter And you know was somethin' about you baby That I liked that was always too good for world Just like you always said was something about me you liked I left behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together have stronger Than who are most content I don't have any regrets, they can about me plenty when I'm gone You always said people don't do what believe in just do what's most convenient, then they repent And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and let's hope that the stays on
was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice I don't who I was or where I was bound All I remember about it was it starred Gregory He wore a gun and he was shot in the Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were down
