Well, there was this movie I seen one About a man riding 'cross the and it starred Gregory Peck He was down by a hungry kid trying 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 dying gunfighter lay in the sun and 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 moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing stuff and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it right through me like a ball and chain You know I can't we've lived so long and are still so far apart The memory of you keeps callin' me like a rollin' 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 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 night into San And we slept the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you out to find a doctor and you never came back I would have gone on after you but I didn't like letting my head get blown off
Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Now I she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I in the mood anymore To remember the times 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 panhandle and we headed towards Amarillo We pulled up where Porter used to live He owned a wreckin' lot outside of town about a 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 ain't but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while
Then she told us how times were 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, welcome to the land of the dead You could tell she was so She said, even the swap around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are y'all going, Ruby asked us with a 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 and said, ah, you know some babies never learn
Something about that movie though, well I 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 Peck and the way people moved And a lot of seemed to be lookin' my way

Well, they were looking for somebody with a I was crossin' the street 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 Tribune it, it said, a man with no alibi You went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was you Then when I saw you break down in 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 yourself over the Oh if there's an original out there, I could use it right now You know, I feel good, but that ain't sayin' much I could feel a lot better If you were just by my side to show me how
Well, I'm in line in the rain to see a movie 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 it's But I'll see him in anything so I'll stand in

You know, it's funny how never 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 there was somethin' about you baby That I liked that was too good for this world like you always said there was something about me you liked That I left behind in the Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together stronger connections people who are most content I don't have any regrets, they can about me plenty when I'm gone You said people don't do what they believe in They just do what's convenient, then 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 I sat through it twice I don't remember who I was or I was bound All I remember about it was it starred Peck He wore a gun and he was shot in the Seems like a long time ago, before the stars were torn down
