Well, was this movie I seen one time a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for The wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he that kid to a bloody pulp As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and I want him to feel what it's to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just 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 rollin'
I can see the day that you came to me on the painted desert In your busted Ford and your 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 into San And we near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft Way down in you went out to find a doctor and you never came back I would have gone on you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off
Well, we're drivin' 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 in her soul But I'm too the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore To remember the when I was your only man And she don't want to remind me, she knows car would go out of control
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville like pearls shining like the moon above Brownsville girl, show me all around the Brownsville girl, my honey love
Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed Amarillo We pulled up where Henry Porter used to He owned a wreckin' lot outside of town a mile Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red tied back She saw us come rolling up in a of dust She said, ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while
Then she told us how times were and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a back to where she started But she changed the every time money came up She said, welcome to the of the living dead You could tell she was so She said, the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are y'all going, Ruby asked us a sigh We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and 'Til the sun peels the and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies Ruby smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never learn
Something that 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 to play All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way moved And a lot of seemed to be lookin' my way
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville Teeth like pearls like the moon above Brownsville girl, show me all around the Brownsville girl, you're my love
Well, they were for somebody with a pompadour 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 somebody
Well, you saw my in the Corpus Christi Tribune it, it said, a man with no alibi You went out on a limb to for me, you said I was with you when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears It was the best I saw anybody do
Now always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass But sometimes you just find over the line Oh if there's an thought out there, I could use it right now You know, I feel good, but that ain't sayin' much I could a whole lot better If you were just here by my to show me how
Well, I'm in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck Yeah, but you know it's not the one that I had in He's got a new one out now, I don't know what it's about But I'll see him in anything so stand in line
Brownsville girl with Brownsville curls Teeth like pearls shining like the moon Brownsville girl, me all around the world Brownsville girl, you're my honey
You know, funny how things never 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' about you That I liked that was too good for this world like you always said there was something about me you liked That I left behind in the French
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, then they And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and let's hope that the stays on
There was a I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice I don't remember who I was or I was bound All I remember about it was it starred Peck He wore a gun and he was in the back Seems like a long ago, long before the stars were torn down
