Well, there was this movie I one time About a man riding the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself The wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he beat kid to a bloody pulp As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and I want him to feel what it's like to every moment his death
Well, I keep seeing this and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it blows right me like a ball and chain You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far The memory of you keeps callin' after me like a train
I can still see the day that you came to me on the desert In your busted down Ford and platform heels I could figure out why you chose that particular place to meet Ah, but you right, it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel
Well, we drove that car all into San Anton' And we near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you came back I would have on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off
Well, drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies Now I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her But I'm too over the edge and I in the mood anymore To remember the times when I was your man And she don't want to remind me, she this car would go out of control

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

Well, they were looking for with a pompadour I was crossin' the 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 somebody
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Underneath it, it said, a man no alibi You went out on a to testify for me, you said I was with you Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry tears It was the best acting I saw do
Now always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass But sometimes you just find yourself the line Oh if there's an thought out there, I could use it right now You know, I pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much I could feel a lot better If you were here by my side to show me how
Well, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie Gregory Peck Yeah, but you know it's not the one that I had in He's got a new one out now, I even know what it's about But I'll see him in so I'll stand in line
Brownsville girl your Brownsville curls Teeth like pearls shining like the moon Brownsville girl, me all around the world girl, you're my honey love
You know, it's how things never turn out the way you had 'em planned The only we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his name Henry Porter And you know there was somethin' you baby That I liked that was always too for this world Just like you always there was something about me you liked I left behind in the French Quarter
Strange how who suffer together have stronger connections people who are most content I don't have any regrets, can talk about me plenty when I'm gone You always said don't do what they believe in They just do what's most convenient, they repent And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and let's hope that the roof on
There was a movie I seen one time, I I sat through it twice I don't remember who I was or I was bound All I remember about it was it Gregory Peck He a gun and he was shot in the back Seems a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down
