Lyrics Desperados Waiting for a Train

I'd play the Red River Valley and he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry
And run his fingers through seventy years of living and wonder Lord has every well I'd drilled run dry
We were friends
Me an this old man
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells and an old-school man of the world
He'd let me drive his car when he's too drunk to
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives were like some old western movie
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him to a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
And there were old men with beer-guts and dominoes lying about their lives while they play
And I was just a kid they called his sidekick
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
One day I looked up and he's pushing eighty
And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin
To me he's one of the heroes of this country
So why is he all dressed up like them old men
Drinking beer and playing Moon and Forty-Two
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
The day before he died
I went to see him
I was grown and he was almost gone
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed of us up a kitchen
And sang another verse to that old song
Come on Jack
That son-of-a-gun's a-coming
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
