Well, there was this movie I one time a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot down by a 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 beat kid to a bloody 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 him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes in And you know it blows right through me like a ball and You know I can't believe we've so long and are still so far apart The memory of you callin' after me like a rollin' train
I can still see the day that you to me on the painted desert In your busted down and your platform heels I could never figure out why you chose particular 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 and soft Way down in Mexico you went out to find a and you never came back I have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off
Well, we're 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 the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore To the times when I was your only man And she don't want to remind me, she knows this car would go out of

Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we towards Amarillo We pulled up where Henry used to live He owned a wreckin' lot of town about a mile Ruby was in the hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back She saw us come rolling up in a of dust She said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little
Then she told us how times were tough and about how she was of Bummin' a ride to where she started 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 around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are y'all going, asked us with a sigh We're going all the way the wheels fall off and burn the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies Ruby just smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never
Something about movie though, well 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 about it was Gregory Peck and the way people And a lot of them to be lookin' my way

Well, were looking for somebody with a pompadour I was crossin' the when shots rang out I know whether to duck or to run, so I ran We got him cornered in the churchyard, I somebody shout
Well, you saw my in the Corpus Christi Tribune it, it said, a man with no alibi You went out on a limb to testify for me, you I was with you when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears It was the best acting I saw do
Now I've always 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 good, but that ain't sayin' much I feel a whole 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 movie starring Gregory Yeah, but you know not the one that I had in mind He's got a new one out now, I don't know what it's about But I'll see him in so I'll stand in line

You know, it's funny how never turn out the way you had 'em planned The only we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his name wasn't Porter And you know there was somethin' you baby That I liked that was always too good for world Just like you always there was something about me you liked That I behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together stronger connections Than who are most content I don't have any regrets, they can talk about me when I'm gone You always people don't do what they believe in They just do most convenient, then they repent And I always said, on to me, baby, and let's hope that the roof stays on
There was a 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 it was it starred Gregory Peck He a gun and he was shot in the back Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn
