Well, there was this movie I seen one About a man riding 'cross the desert and it Gregory Peck He was down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself The townspeople to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck
Well, the marshal, now he that kid to a bloody pulp As the gunfighter 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 right through me like a ball and chain You know I 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 still see the day that you to me on the painted desert In busted down Ford and your platform heels I could never figure out why you that 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, skin 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 didn't like letting my head get blown off
Well, drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies Now I she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul But I'm too the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore To remember the when I was your only man And she don't want to remind me, she this car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the and then we headed towards Amarillo We up where Henry Porter used to live He owned a wreckin' lot of town about a mile Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red tied back She saw us come rolling up in a trail of She said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little
she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a ride back to where she But she changed the subject every money came up She said, welcome to the land of the living You could she was so broken-hearted She said, even the swap meets around here are getting 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 peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin Ruby smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never learn
about that movie though, well I just 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 remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way 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 the world Brownsville girl, you're my love
Well, were looking for somebody with a pompadour I was crossin' the street when shots out I didn't know to duck or to run, so I ran We got him in the churchyard, I heard somebody shout
Well, you saw my picture in the Christi 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 front of the judge and cry real It was the acting I saw anybody do
Now I've always been the kind of person that doesn't to trespass But sometimes you just yourself over the line Oh if there's an original out there, I could use it right now You know, I feel pretty good, but that ain't 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 know it's not the one I had in mind He's got a new one out now, I don't even what it's about But see him in anything so I'll stand in line

You know, funny how things never turn out the way you had 'em planned The thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his name wasn't Porter And you there was somethin' about you baby That I that was always too good for this world like you always said there was something about me you liked That I left in the French Quarter
how people who suffer together have stronger connections Than who are most content I have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone You always said people 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 hope that the roof on
There was a movie I seen one time, I I sat through it twice I remember who I was or where I was bound 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, before the stars were torn down
