Desperados Waiting For A Train - Lawrence Welk with The Lennon Sisters[00:00:00]
Written by:Guy Clark[00:00:03]
I'd play the red river valley[00:00:13]
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry[00:00:19]
And run his fingers through seventy years of livin'[00:00:26]
And wonder lord[00:00:32]
Has every well I drilled run dry[00:00:34]
We were friends[00:00:39]
Me and this ol' man[00:00:41]
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[00:01:01]
And an ol' school man of the world[00:01:07]
He let me drive his car when he was too drunk to[00:01:14]
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls[00:01:21]
And our lives were like some ol' western movie[00:01:27]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:01:32]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:01:38]
From the time that I could walk[00:01:49]
He'd take me with him[00:01:51]
To a bar called the green frog cafe[00:01:55]
And there were ol' men with beer guts and dominos[00:02:01]
Lyin' 'bout their lives while they played[00:02:08]
And I was just a kid they called his sidekick[00:02:15]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:02:20]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:02:26]
One day I looked up[00:02:37]
And he was pushin' eighty[00:02:38]
And ther was brown tobacco stains on all down his chin[00:02:42]
To me he's one of the heros of this country[00:02:49]
So why's he dressed up like them ol' men[00:02:56]
Drinkin' beer[00:03:03]
And playin' moon and forty two[00:03:04]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:07]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:14]
The day before he died[00:03:25]
I went to see him[00:03:26]
I was grown[00:03:31]
And he was almost gone[00:03:32]
So we just closed our eyes[00:03:36]
And dreamed us up a kitchen[00:03:39]
And sang another verse to that ol' song[00:03:44]
C'mon Jack[00:03:49]
That son of a gun's a comin'[00:03:51]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:55]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:04:02]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:04:08]
Like desperados waiting for a train[00:04:15]
