Desperados Waiting for the Train - David Allan Coe[00:00:00]
I'd sing the Red River Valley[00:00:30]
And he'd sit in the kitchen and cry[00:00:38]
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'[00:00:46]
Wonder Lord has every well I drilled ran dry[00:00:53]
We were friends me and that old man[00:01:00]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:01:06]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:01:13]
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells[00:01:28]
And an old school man of the world[00:01:35]
Taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to[00:01:43]
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls[00:01:50]
And our lives was like some old western movie[00:01:57]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:02:03]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:02:10]
From the time that I could walk he take me with him[00:02:17]
To a place called the Green Frog Cafe[00:02:25]
There was old men with beer guts and dominos[00:02:32]
Lyin' bout their lives while they'd play[00:02:40]
And I was just a kid that they all called his sidekick[00:02:46]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:02:52]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:02:59]
Now I looked up and he was pushin' eighty[00:03:21]
And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin[00:03:27]
To me he's one of the heroes of this country[00:03:34]
So why's he all dressed up like some old men[00:03:42]
Drinking beer and playing moon and 42[00:03:49]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:03:54]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:04:01]
Then just before he died I went to see him[00:04:13]
I was grown and he was almost gone[00:04:20]
We just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen[00:04:26]
And sang another verse to that old song[00:04:33]
(Don't cry Jack it's only Jesus comin')[00:04:41]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:04:45]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:04:52]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:04:59]
