Well, there was movie I seen one time About a man riding the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for The townspeople wanted to crush that kid and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody As the dying lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square I want him to feel what it's to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes in And you know it right through me like a ball and chain You know I believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart The memory of you callin' after me like a rollin' train
I can see the day that you came to me on the painted desert In your busted Ford and your platform heels I could figure out why you chose that particular place to meet Ah, but you were right, it was 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 you went out to find a doctor and you never came back I have gone on after you but I didn't feel 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 here and got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the anymore To remember the times I was your only man And she want to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control
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, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards We pulled up Henry Porter used to live 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 trail of She said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a 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 every time money came up She said, welcome to the land of the dead You could she was so broken-hearted She said, even the swap meets around here are getting pretty
How far are y'all going, Ruby us with a sigh We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and 'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water dies just smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never learn
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 what part I was supposed to All I remember it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved And a lot of seemed to be lookin' my way
Brownsville girl with your curls Teeth like pearls shining like the above Brownsville girl, me all around the world Brownsville girl, you're my honey
Well, they were looking for somebody a pompadour I was crossin' the street when rang out I didn't whether to duck or to run, so I ran We got him in the churchyard, I heard somebody shout
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi 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 tears It was the best I saw anybody do
Now I've always been the of person that doesn't like to trespass But sometimes you just yourself over the line Oh if an original thought out there, I could use it right now You know, I feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' I could feel a whole lot If you were just here by my side to me how
Well, I'm in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck Yeah, but you know not the one that 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
Brownsville with your Brownsville curls Teeth pearls shining like the moon above Brownsville girl, me all around the world Brownsville girl, my honey love
You know, it's funny how things turn out the way you had 'em planned The only thing we knew for sure about Porter Is that his wasn't Henry Porter And you know there was about you baby That I liked that was always too for this world Just like you always there was something about me you liked I left behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together have connections Than people who are content I don't any regrets, they 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 repent And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and hope that the roof stays on
was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice I don't remember who I was or where I was All I remember about it was it starred Gregory He wore a gun and he was in the back Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn
