Well, there was movie I seen one time a man riding 'cross 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 that kid to a bloody As the dying lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square 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 through me 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 after me like a rollin' 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 never figure out why you chose particular place to meet Ah, but you were right, it was as I got in behind the wheel
Well, we drove that car all night San Anton' And we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so and soft Way down in you went out to find a doctor and you never came back I have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off
Well, we're this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies Now I know she ain't you but she's here and got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I in the mood anymore To remember the when I was your only man And she don't to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle and we headed towards Amarillo We up where Henry Porter used to live He owned a wreckin' lot of town about a mile Ruby was in the backyard clothes, she had her red hair tied back She saw us come up in a trail of dust She said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little
Then she told us how were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride to where she started But she changed the subject every money came up She said, welcome to the of the living dead You could she was so broken-hearted She said, the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are y'all going, Ruby us with a sigh We're going all the way the wheels fall off and burn 'Til the sun the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies Ruby just smiled and said, ah, you know babies never learn
Something about movie though, well I just can't get it out of my head But I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to 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 somebody with a I was crossin' the street when shots out I didn't know whether to or to run, so I ran We got him cornered in the churchyard, I heard shout
Well, you saw my in the Corpus Christi Tribune it, it said, a man with no alibi You went out on a limb to testify for me, you I was with you Then I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears It was the best I saw anybody do
Now I've always been the kind of person that doesn't to trespass But sometimes you just find yourself over the Oh if an original thought out there, I could use it right now You know, I pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much I feel a whole lot better If you just here by my side to show me how
Well, I'm in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck Yeah, but you it's not the one that I had in mind He's got a new one out now, I don't even what it's about But see him in anything so I'll stand in line

You know, it's funny how things turn out the way you had 'em planned The only thing we knew for about Henry Porter Is that his name wasn't Henry And you know there was somethin' you baby That I liked that was always too good for this like you always said there was something about me you liked That I left in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together have connections Than who are most content I don't have any regrets, they can talk me plenty when I'm gone You always said don't do what they believe in just do what's most convenient, then they repent And I always said, on to me, baby, and let's hope that the roof stays on
There was a movie I one time, I think I sat through it twice I don't remember who I was or where I was All I remember about it was it Gregory Peck He wore a gun and he was shot in the Seems like a long time ago, long the stars were torn down
