Well, there was this movie I seen one About a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to a name for himself The townspeople wanted to crush that kid and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he that 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 me fair and square I want him to feel what it's to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing stuff and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it blows right through me like a and chain You I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart The memory of you keeps callin' after me 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 never figure out why you chose that 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 near 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 feel like letting my head get 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 she's got that dark rhythm in her But I'm too the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore To remember the times when I was your man And she don't to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle and we headed towards Amarillo We pulled up where Henry Porter to live He a wreckin' lot outside 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 ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be in a little while
Then she told us how times were tough and how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride back to where she But she changed the subject every time money up She said, welcome to the land of the dead You could she was so broken-hearted She said, even the swap around here are getting pretty corrupt
How far are going, Ruby asked us with a sigh We're all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn 'Til the sun peels the and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies Ruby smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never learn
Something about that movie though, well I just can't get it out of my But I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was 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 for somebody with a pompadour I was crossin' the 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 in the Corpus Christi Tribune it, it said, a man with no alibi You out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was with you Then when I saw you down in front of the judge and cry real tears It was the best I saw anybody do
Now I've always been the kind of that doesn't like to trespass But sometimes you just find over the line Oh if an original thought 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 standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring Peck 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 anything so I'll stand in

You know, it's funny how things never out the way you had 'em planned The only we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his name Henry Porter And you know there was somethin' about you That I liked was always too good for this world Just like you always said there was something about me you That I left in the French Quarter
Strange how people who together have stronger connections Than people who are most I don't have any regrets, they can talk me plenty when I'm gone You always said people don't do what believe in They just do most convenient, then they 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 think I sat it twice I don't who I was or where 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 time ago, long before the stars were torn down
