1
I'd sing the Red River Valley
2
And he'd sit in the kitchen and cry
3
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
4
Wonder Lord has every well I drilled ran dry
5
We were friends me and that old man
6
Like desperados waiting for the train
7
Like desperados waiting for the train
8
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
9
And an old school man of the world
10
Taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to
11
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
12
And our lives was like some old western movie
13
Like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train
14
From the time that I could walk he take me with him
15
To a place called the Green Frog Cafe
16
There was old men with beer guts and dominos
17
Lyin' bout their lives while they'd play
18
And I was just a kid that they all called his sidekick
19
Like desperados waiting for the train
20
Like desperados waiting for the train
21
Now I looked up and he was pushin' eighty
22
And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin
23
To me he's one of the heroes of this country
24
So why's he all dressed up like some old men
25
Drinking beer and playing moon and 42
26
Like desperados waiting for the train
27
Like desperados waiting for the train
28
Then just before he died I went to see him
29
I was grown and he was almost gone
30
We just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
31
And sang another verse to that old song
32
(Don't cry Jack it's only Jesus comin')
33
Like desperados waiting for the train
34
Like desperados waiting for the train
35
Like desperados waiting for the train
