Well, there was this 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 for himself The townspeople wanted to crush that kid and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a pulp 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 like to every moment face his
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just a-rolling in And you know it blows right through me like a ball and You know I can't believe we've lived so and are still so far apart 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 busted down Ford and your platform heels I could never figure out why you chose that place to meet Ah, but you right, it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel
Well, we that car all night into San Anton' And we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and Way down in Mexico you out to find a doctor and you never came back I would have on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off
Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up the Rockies Now I know she ain't you but she's and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the anymore To the times when I was your only man And she don't to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control

Well, we the panhandle and then we headed towards Amarillo We pulled up where Henry Porter to live He owned a wreckin' lot outside of about a mile Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red 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 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, welcome to the of the living dead You could tell she was so She said, even the meets around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are y'all going, Ruby asked us a sigh going 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 know some never learn
Something that movie though, well I just can't get it out of my head But I remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way moved And a lot of them to be lookin' my way

Well, they were looking for somebody a pompadour I was crossin' the street when rang out I didn't know whether to or to run, so I ran We got him cornered in the churchyard, I heard shout
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi 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 front of the judge and cry real It was the acting I saw anybody do
Now I've been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass But sometimes you just yourself over the line Oh if there's an original thought out there, I could use it now You know, I feel pretty good, but that sayin' much I feel a whole lot better If you were just here by my to show me how
Well, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a starring Gregory Peck Yeah, but you know it's not the one that I had in He's got a new one out now, I don't even what it's about But I'll see him in anything so stand in line

You know, it's funny how things never 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 there was about you baby That I that was always too good for this world Just like you always said there was something about me you That I behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together have stronger Than who are most content I don't have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty I'm gone You always people don't do what they believe in They do what's most 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 think I sat it twice I don't remember who I was or where I was All I remember about it was it starred Gregory He a gun and he was shot in the back Seems like a long time ago, long before the were torn down
