And I'd play the red river valley[00:00:01]

And he'd sit in the kitchen and he'd cry[00:00:10]

And run his fingers[00:00:15]

Through seventy years of living[00:00:18]

And wonder Lord has every well I've drilled gone dry[00:00:22]

We were friends me and this old man[00:00:29]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:00:34]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:00:41]

Well he's a drifter and a driller of oil wells[00:00:51]

And an old school man of the world[00:00:58]

He taught me how to drive his car[00:01:02]

When he's too drunk to[00:01:07]

And he'd wink and give me money for the girld[00:01:11]

And our lives were like some old western movie[00:01:18]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:01:23]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:01:29]

From the time that I could walk[00:01:39]

He'd take me with him[00:01:42]

To a bar called the green frog cafe[00:01:46]

There was old men with beer guts and dominoes[00:01:52]

Lying about their lives while they played[00:01:59]

And I was just a kid[00:02:06]

They all called me sidekick[00:02:08]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:02:10]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:02:17]

One day I looked up and[00:02:27]

He was pushing eighty[00:02:29]

And there was brown tobacco stains[00:02:33]

All down his chin[00:02:36]

To me he was one of the heroes[00:02:40]

Of this country[00:02:43]

So why's he all dressed up like them old men[00:02:47]

Drinking beer amd playing moon and forty two[00:02:53]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:02:58]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:03:05]

And then the day before he died[00:03:14]

I went to see him[00:03:17]

And I was grown and he was almost gone[00:03:21]

So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen[00:03:27]

And sang another verse to that old song[00:03:34]

Come on jack the son of a b***h is coming[00:03:42]

We're like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:03:48]

Like desperadoes waiting for a train[00:04:05]
