Whenever Kindness Fails (Album Version) - Joe Ely[00:00:00]
Crossed the desert in a dinin' car[00:00:17]
In the spring of '91[00:00:21]
Met some people drinkin' at the bar[00:00:24]
They were laughin' havin' fun[00:00:28]
I told 'em that I hadn't heard the joke[00:00:32]
That was so hilarious[00:00:36]
They said that I was just a dumb cowpoke[00:00:39]
I didn't want to make a fuss[00:00:43]
So I shot them down one by one[00:00:46]
I left them 'long the rails[00:00:51]
I only use my gun[00:00:54]
Whenever kindness fails[00:00:56]
The moon was in the sign of Scorpio[00:01:11]
The sun was at my back[00:01:15]
I didn't know how far the train would go[00:01:18]
Until the law would find my track[00:01:22]
I saw the brakeman and the engineer[00:01:26]
Drinkin' wine and eatin' brie[00:01:30]
I asked them who would brake and who would steer[00:01:34]
They started pointin' back at me[00:01:37]
So I shot them down one by one[00:01:40]
I left them 'long the rails[00:01:45]
I only use my gun[00:01:48]
Whenever kindness fails[00:01:50]
I only have a moment to explain[00:02:20]
Just a chance to let you know[00:02:24]
When it's time for you to board the train[00:02:28]
There are two ways you can go[00:02:32]
You can ride the winds into the sun[00:02:35]
Feel a cool wind on your face[00:02:39]
Or you can laugh into a loaded gun[00:02:43]
And you'll likely lose your place[00:02:47]
Yeah I shot them down one by one[00:02:50]
I left them 'long the rails[00:02:54]
I only use my gun[00:02:57]
Whenever kindness fails[00:02:59]
Yeah I shot them down one by one[00:03:05]
I left them 'long the rails[00:03:09]
When I use my gun[00:03:13]
That lonesome whistle wails[00:03:15]
