Well, there was this movie I seen one About a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Peck He was shot down by a 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 face his death
Well, I keep seeing stuff and it just comes a-rolling in And you it blows right through me like a ball and chain You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far The of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train
I can see the day that you came to me on the painted desert In your busted down Ford and your heels I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to 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 slept near the Alamo, skin was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never back I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get 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 dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the anymore To remember the when I was your only man And she don't want to remind me, she knows this car go out of control

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

Well, they looking for somebody with a pompadour I was crossin' the street when shots out I know whether to duck or to run, so I ran We got him cornered in the churchyard, I heard shout
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Tribune Underneath it, it said, a man with no 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 real It was the best acting I saw do
Now I've always been the kind of person that like 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 feel good, but that ain't sayin' much I could feel a whole lot If you were just here by my to show me how
Well, I'm standin' in line in the to see a movie 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 don't even know what it's But see him in anything so I'll stand in line

You know, it's funny how things never out the way you had 'em planned The only we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is his name wasn't Henry Porter And you know was somethin' about you baby That I liked that was always too good for world Just you always said there was something about me you liked That I left in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together have stronger Than people who are content I don't have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I'm You always said people don't do they believe in They do what's most convenient, then they repent And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and let's hope that the stays 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 about it was it starred Gregory Peck He a gun and he was shot in the back like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down
