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 name for The townspeople wanted to crush kid down and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a pulp As the gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he me fair and square I want him to what it's like to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it comes a-rolling in And you know it blows right through me like a and chain You know I can't we've lived so long and are still so far apart The of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train
I can still see the day you came to me on the painted desert In your busted down Ford and your platform I could never figure out why you chose that place to meet Ah, but you were right, it was perfect as I got in behind the
Well, we drove car all night into San Anton' And we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and Way in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back I would have gone on after you but I didn't 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 and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood To remember the times when I was only man And she don't want to me, she knows this car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed Amarillo We pulled up Henry Porter used to live He a wreckin' lot outside of town about a mile Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red tied 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 were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride back to she started But she changed the every time money came up She said, welcome to the land of the dead You could tell she was so She said, even the swap meets around here are getting 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 covers fade and the water moccasin dies Ruby smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never learn
Something about that 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 them to be lookin' my way

Well, they were for somebody 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 somebody shout
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi it, it said, a man with no alibi You went out on a limb to 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 acting I saw anybody do

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