Well, there was this movie I one time a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself The townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and 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 him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square I want him to feel what it's like to every moment 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 can't believe we've so long and are still so far apart The memory of you keeps callin' after me like a train
I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted In your busted Ford and your platform heels I could never figure out why you chose particular place to meet Ah, but you were right, it was as I got in behind the wheel
Well, we that car all night into San Anton' And we slept near the Alamo, your was so tender and soft Way in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back I would have gone on after you but I feel like letting my head 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 got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I in the mood anymore To the times when I was your only man And she don't want to remind me, she knows car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed Amarillo We pulled up where Henry 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 come up in a trail of dust She said, Henry here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while
Then she told us how times tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride back to where she But she changed the subject every time came up She said, welcome to the of the living dead You could tell she was so She said, even the swap meets around here are getting pretty
How far are y'all going, Ruby us with a sigh We're all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn 'Til the sun the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies Ruby just smiled and said, ah, you some babies never learn
Something about that movie though, well I 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 about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved And a lot of them seemed to be my way
Brownsville girl 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 for somebody with a pompadour I was the street when shots rang out I didn't 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 Christi Tribune Underneath it, it said, a man no alibi You went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was you Then when I saw you break in front of the judge and cry real tears It was the acting I saw anybody do
Now I've always been the kind of person 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 lot better If you were here 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 it's not the one that I had in mind He's got a new one out now, I don't even know what 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 only thing we knew for sure Henry Porter Is his name wasn't Henry Porter And you know was somethin' about you baby That I liked that was always too for this world Just you always said there was something about me you liked That I behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together have connections Than who are most content I don't have any regrets, can talk about me plenty when I'm gone You always people 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 let's hope that the roof 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 about it was it starred Gregory Peck He wore a gun and he was shot in the Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were down
