Well, was this movie I seen one time About a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory He was shot 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 that kid to a bloody pulp As the dying lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me and square I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his
Well, I seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it blows right through me like a ball and You know I can't believe lived so long and are still so far apart The memory of you keeps callin' after me a rollin' train
I can still see the day that you to me on the painted desert In your busted down Ford and platform heels I could figure out why you chose that particular place to meet 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, 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 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 here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the and I ain't in the mood anymore To remember the times when I was your man And she don't want to remind me, she knows car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the and then we headed towards Amarillo We pulled up 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 rolling up in a trail of dust She said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a while
she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride back to where she But she the subject every time money came up She said, to the land of the living dead You could she was so broken-hearted She said, even the swap meets around here are pretty corrupt
How far are going, Ruby asked us with a sigh We're going all the way 'til the fall off and burn 'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers and the water moccasin dies Ruby just smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never
Something about that movie though, I just can't get it out of my head But I can't remember why I was in it or part I was supposed to play All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way moved And a lot of them seemed to be my way
Brownsville with your Brownsville curls Teeth like pearls shining the moon above Brownsville girl, show me all around the Brownsville girl, you're my love
Well, they were looking for somebody a pompadour I was crossin' the street when 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 Christi Tribune Underneath it, it said, a man 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 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 pretty good, but that ain't much I could feel a lot better If you just here by my side to show me how
Well, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory 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 know it's about But I'll see him in anything so stand in line

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