Desperados Waiting For A Train (Album Version) - Highwaymen[00:00:00]

Written by：Guy Clark[00:00:01]

I played the Red River Valley[00:00:13]

And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry[00:00:19]

An' run his fingers through seventy years of living[00:00:25]

An' wonder lord as ever will that drill run dry[00:00:32]

We were friends me an this old man[00:00:39]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:00:44]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:00:50]

He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells[00:01:01]

And an old-school man of the world[00:01:07]

He'd let me drive his car when he's too drunk to[00:01:14]

And he'd wink and give me money for the girls[00:01:20]

And our lives were like some old western movie[00:01:26]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:01:31]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:01:38]

From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him[00:01:48]

To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe[00:01:55]

And there were old men with beer-guts and dominoes[00:02:01]

Lying about their lives while they play[00:02:08]

And I was just a kid they called his sidekick[00:02:15]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:02:19]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:02:26]

One day I looked up and he's pushing eighty[00:02:36]

And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin[00:02:42]

To me he's one of the heroes of this country[00:02:49]

So why is he all dressed up like them old men[00:02:55]

Drinking beer and playing moon in fourty two[00:03:02]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:07]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:13]

The day before he died I went to see him[00:03:24]

I was grown and he was almost gone[00:03:30]

So we just closed our eyes and dreamed of supper kitchens[00:03:36]

And sang another verse to that old song[00:03:43]

Come on Jack that son-of-a-gun's a-coming[00:03:49]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:03:55]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:04:01]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:04:08]

Like desperados waiting for a train[00:04:14]
