Well, there was this I seen one time About a man 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid to make a name for himself The townspeople wanted to that kid down and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he beat kid to a bloody pulp As the gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and I him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing stuff and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it blows right through me like a and chain You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far The memory of you keeps callin' me like a rollin' train
I can see the day that you came to me on the painted desert In your down Ford and your platform heels I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to 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 slept near the Alamo, your was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my 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 here and she's got that rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the 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 this car would go out of control

Well, we the panhandle and then we headed towards Amarillo We pulled up where Porter used to live He owned a lot outside of town about a mile was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back She saw us come rolling up in a of dust She said, Henry here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while
Then she us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride back to where she But she changed the subject time money came up She said, to the land of the living dead You tell she was so broken-hearted 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 off and burn 'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the moccasin dies Ruby just smiled and said, ah, you some babies never learn
Something about that though, well I just can't get it out of my head But I can't why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play All I remember about it was Peck and the way people moved And a lot of them to be lookin' my way

Well, were looking for somebody with a pompadour I was the street when shots rang out I know whether 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 it, it said, a man with no alibi You out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was with you Then when I saw you break down in front of the and cry real tears It was the acting I saw anybody do
Now I've always the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass But you just find yourself over the line Oh if there's an original thought out there, I could use it now You know, I feel good, but that ain't sayin' much I could feel a whole lot If you were just by my side to show me how
Well, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a 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 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 thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his name wasn't Porter And you know there was somethin' about you That I liked that was always too good for world Just like you always there was something about me you liked That I behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer have stronger connections people who are most content I have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone You always said people don't do what believe in They just do what's convenient, then they repent And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and let's hope the roof stays on
There was a I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice I don't who I was or where I was bound All I about it was it starred Gregory Peck He a gun and he was shot in the back Seems a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down
