Desperados Waiting for a Train (等待列车的亡命之徒) (Live|1993 Version) - Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters[00:00:00]
Written by:Guy Clark[00:00:00]
I'd play the red river valley[00:00:13]
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry[00:00:20]
And run his fingers through seventy years of livin'[00:00:26]
And wonder lord has every well I drilled run dry[00:00:32]
We were friends me and this ol' man[00:00:39]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:00:44]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:00:51]
He was a drifter and a driller of oil wells[00:01:00]
And an ol' school man of the world[00:01:07]
He let me drive his car when he was too drunk to[00:01:13]
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls[00:01:20]
And our lives were like some ol' western movie[00:01:26]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:01:31]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:01:37]
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him[00:01:47]
To a bar called the green frog cafe[00:01:53]
And there were ol' men with beer guts and dominos[00:01:59]
Lyin''bout their lives while they played[00:02:06]
And I was just a kid they called his sidekick[00:02:13]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:02:17]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:02:23]
One day I looked up and he was pushin' eighty[00:02:33]
And ther was brown tobacco stains on all down his chin[00:02:39]
To me he's one of the heros of this country[00:02:46]
So why's he dressed up like them ol' men[00:02:52]
Drinkin' beer and playin' moon and forty two[00:02:59]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:03]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:10]
The day before he died I went to see him[00:03:21]
I was grown and he was almost gone[00:03:27]
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen[00:03:32]
And sang another verse to that ol' song[00:03:40]
Kris c'mon jack that son of a gun's a comin'[00:03:46]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:51]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:57]
