Desperados Waiting for the Train - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
I'd play the Red River Valley[00:00:07]
And he'd sit in the kitchen and cry[00:00:13]
Run his fingers through seventy years[00:00:19]
Of living and wonder[00:00:23]
Lord has every well I drilled gone dry[00:00:26]
We was friends me and this old man[00:00:33]
Desperados waiting for the train[00:00:38]
Desperados waiting for the train[00:00:44]
He's a drifter[00:00:54]
And a driller of oil wells[00:00:56]
And an old school man of the world[00:01:01]
Taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to[00:01:07]
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls[00:01:13]
Our lives was like some old western movie[00:01:20]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:01:25]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:01:32]
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him[00:01:42]
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe[00:01:48]
There was old men with beer guts playing dominos[00:01:55]
Lying about their lives while they'd play[00:02:02]
I was just a kid they all called his sidekick[00:02:08]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:02:13]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:02:20]
One day I looked up and he's pushing eighty[00:02:30]
There's brown tobacco stains all down his chin[00:02:37]
To me he's one of the heroes of this country[00:02:44]
So why's he all dressed up like them old men[00:02:50]
Drinking beer and playing moon and 42[00:02:57]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:03:02]
Like desperados waiting for the train[00:03:08]
Just before he died I went to see him[00:03:19]
I was grown and he was almost gone[00:03:25]
So we closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen[00:03:31]
And sang another verse to that old song[00:03:38]
He said come on Jack I swear this time it's coming[00:03:44]
Desperados waiting for the train[00:03:50]
We're desperados waiting for the train[00:03:56]
We're desperados waiting for the train[00:04:03]
