Well, was this movie I seen one time About a man riding the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot down by a kid trying to make a name for himself The townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the
Well, the marshal, now he that kid to a bloody pulp As the gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he me fair and square I him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death
Well, I keep seeing this and it just comes a-rolling in And you know it right through me like a ball and chain You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are so far apart The of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train
I can still see the day that you came to me on the desert In busted down Ford and your platform heels I never 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 that car all night into San Anton' And we near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you went out to find a and you never came back I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel letting my head get blown off
Well, we're drivin' car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies Now I know she 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 when I was only man And she want to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards We pulled up where Henry Porter to live He owned a wreckin' lot outside of town a mile Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red tied back She saw us come rolling up in a of dust She said, ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while
she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of Bummin' a back to where she started But she changed the subject time 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 pretty
How far are y'all going, Ruby us with a sigh We're going all the way 'til the wheels off and burn 'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin 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 what I was supposed to play All I about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved And a lot of them seemed to be my way
Brownsville girl your Brownsville curls Teeth like pearls shining like the moon Brownsville girl, me all around the world Brownsville girl, you're my honey
Well, they were looking for somebody a pompadour I was crossin' the when shots rang out I know whether 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 Corpus Christi Underneath it, it said, a man with no You went out on a limb to testify for me, you I was with 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 find over the line Oh if there's an original out there, I could use it right now You know, I feel pretty good, but ain't sayin' much I could feel a 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 movie 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
Brownsville girl your Brownsville curls Teeth pearls shining like the moon above Brownsville girl, show me all around the girl, you're my honey love
You know, it's funny how things never turn out the way you had 'em The only we knew for sure about Henry Porter Is that his wasn't Henry Porter And you there was somethin' about you baby That I that was always too good for this world Just like you always there was something about me you liked I left behind in the French Quarter
Strange how who suffer together have stronger connections Than people who are most I don't have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty I'm gone You always said people do what they believe in They just do most convenient, then they repent And I always said, hang on to me, baby, and hope that the roof stays on
was a movie 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 about it was it starred Peck He a gun and he was shot in the back Seems like a long time ago, long before the were torn down
