I played the[00:00:12]
Red river[00:00:27]
Valley he'd sit in the kitchen and cry[00:00:36]
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'[00:00:45]
And wonder lord why has every well I've drilled gone dry[00:00:52]
We were friends me and this old man[00:00:59]
We's like desperados waitin' for a train[00:01:04]
Desperados waitin' for a train[00:01:12]
He's a drifter a driller of oil wells[00:01:23]
He's an old school man of the world[00:01:30]
He taught me how to drive his car when he was too drunk to[00:01:36]
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls[00:01:43]
And our lives was like some old[00:01:51]
Western movie[00:01:53]
Like desperados waitin' for a train[00:01:56]
Like desperados waitin' for a train[00:02:03]
From the time that[00:02:14]
I could walk he'd take me with him[00:02:15]
To a bar called the[00:02:21]
Green frog[00:02:23]
Cafe there was old men with beer guts and dominos[00:02:25]
Lying 'bout their lives while they played[00:02:35]
I was just a kid they all called me sidekick[00:02:42]
Just like desperados waitin' for a train[00:02:47]
Like desperados waitin' for a train[00:02:55]
One day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty[00:03:07]
He's got brown tobacco stains all down his chin[00:03:14]
Well to me he was a hero of this country[00:03:21]
So why's he all dressed up like them old men[00:03:29]
Drinkin' beer and playin'[00:03:36]
Moon and forty two[00:03:37]
Jus' like desperados waitin' for a train[00:03:40]
Like a desperado waitin' for a train[00:03:49]
The day 'fore he died[00:04:00]
I went to see him[00:04:03]
I was grown and he was almost gone[00:04:08]
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen[00:04:14]
And sang one more verse to that old song[00:04:22]
Spoken[00:04:31]
Come on jack that son of a b***h is comin'[00:04:32]
We're desperados waitin' for a train[00:04:49]
Was like desperados waitin' for a train[00:04:56]
