1	Well there was this movie I seen one time						Well there was this movie I seen one time About a	1
2	About a man riding across the desert and starred Gregory Peck						man riding across the desert and starred Gregory	2
3	He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself						Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to	3
4	The town's people wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck						make a name for himself The town's people wanted	4
5							to crush that kid down and string him up by the	5
6	Well the Marshall now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp						neck.	6
1	As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath							1
7	Turn him loose let him go let him say he outdrew me fair and square						Well the Marshall now                         he beat that kid to a bloody	7
8	I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death						pulp As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and	8

10	Well I keep seeing this stuff           and it just comes a-rolling in						go let him say he outdrew me fair and square I	10
11	And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain						want him to feel what it's              like to every moment	11
12	You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart						face his death.	12
2	The memory of you keeps calling after me like a rolling train							2
13							Well I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes	13
14	I can still see the day that you came to me on the pinked desert						a-rolling in And                      you know it blows right through	14
15	In your busted down Ford and your platform heels						me like a ball       and chain You know I can't believe	15
16	I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet						we've lived so long and are still so far apart The	16
17	Ah, but you were right it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel						memory of you keeps calling after me like a	17
18							rolling train.	18
3	Well we drove that car all night 'til we got into San Anton'							3
19	And we slept near the Alamo your skin was so tender and soft						I can still see the day that you came to me on the	19
20	Way                           down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back						pinked desert In your busted down Ford                                              and your	20
21	I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blow off						platform heels I could never figure out why you	21
22							chose that particular place to meet Ah, but you	22
23	Well we're driving this car and the sun is coming up over the Rockies						were right it was perfect as I got in behind the	23
24	Now I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul						wheel.	24
4	But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember the times							4
25	When I was your only man						Well we drove that car all night 'til we got into	25
26	And she don't want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control						San Anton' And we slept near the Alamo your skin	26
1							was so tender and soft Way down in Mexico you went	1
2							out to find a doctor and you never came back I	2

7							up over the Rockies Now I know she ain't you but	7
8							she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her	8
9							soul But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the	9
10							mood anymore to remember the times when I was your	10
11							only man And she don't want to remind me. She	11

13								13
14							Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls Teeth	14
15							like pearls shining like the moon above	15
16							Brownsville girl show me all around the world.	16
17							Brownsville girl you're my honey love.Well we	17
18							crossed the panthandle and then we headed towards	18
19							Amarillo We pulled up where Henry Porter used to	19
20							live. He owned a wrecking lot outside of town	20
21							about a mile Ruby was in the backyard hanging	21
22							clothes she had her red hair tied back. She saw us	22
23							come rolling up in a trail of dust She said "Henry	23
24							ain't here but you can come on in he'll be back in	24
25							a little while".	25
26								26
27							Then she told us how times were tough and about	27
28							how she was thinking of bumming a ride back to	28
29							where she started But she changed the subject	29
30							every time money came up She said "Welcome to the	30
31							land of the living dead". You could tell she was	31
32							so broken-hearted She said "Even the swap meets	32
33							around here are pretty corrupt".	33
34								34
35							"How far are you all going ?" Ruby asked us with a	35
36							sigh "We're going all the way until the wheels	36
37							fall off and burn Until the sun peels the paint	37
38							and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin	38
39							dies" Ruby just smiled and said. "Ah you know some	39
40							babies never learn".	40
41								41
42							Something about that movie though well I just	42
43							can't get it out of my head But I can't remember	43
44							why I was in it or what part I was supposed to	44
45							play All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and	45
46							the way people moved And a lot of them seemed to	46
47							be looking my way.	47
48								48
49							Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls Teeth	49
50							like pearls shining like the moon above	50
51							Brownsville girl show me all around the world.	51
52							Brownsville girl you're my honey love.	52
53								53
54							Well they were looking for somebody with a	54
55							pompadour I was crossing the street when shots	55
56							rang out I didn't know whether to duck or to run	56
57							so I ran We got him cornered in the churchyard ? I	57
58							heard somebody shout.	58
59								59
60							Well you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi	60
61							Tribune. Underneath it it said: "A man with no	61
62							alibi" You went out on a limb to testify for me	62
63							you said I was with you Then when I saw you break	63
64							down in front of the judge and cry real tears It	64
65							was the best acting I saw anybody do.	65
66								66
67							Now I've always been the kind of person that	67
68							doesn't like to trepass but sometimes you just	68
69							find yourself over the line Oh if there's an	69
70							original thought out there I could use it right	70
71							now You now I feel pretty good but that ain't	71
72							saying much I could feel a whole lot better If you	72
73							were just here by my side to show me how. Well I'm	73
74							standing in line in the rain to see a movie	74
75							starring Gregory Peck Yeh but you know it's not	75
76							the one I had in mind He's got a new one out now I	76
77							don't even know what it's about But I'll se him in	77
78							anything so I'll stand in line.	78
27	Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls						Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls Teeth	27
28	Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above						like pearls shining like the moon above	28

29	Brownsville girl you're my honey love						Brownsville girl you're my honey love.	29
30	Well we crossed the panthandle and then we headed towards Amarillo						You know it's funny how things never turn out the	30
31	We pulled up where Henry Porter used to live. He owned a wrecking lot outside of						way you had them planned The only things we knew	31
32	Town       about a mile						for sure about Henry Porter is that his name	32
33	Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes she had her red hair tied back. She saw us						wasn't Henry Porter And you know there was	33
34	Come rolling up in a trail of dust						something about you baby that I liked that was	34
35	She said "Henry ain't here but you can come on in he'll be back in a little while"						always too good for this world Just like you	35
36							always said there was something about me you liked	36
37	Then she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinking of bumming						that I left behind in the French Quarter.	37
5	A ride back to where she started							5
38	But she changed the subject every time money came up						Strange how people who suffer together have	38
39	She said "Welcome to the land of the living dead". You could tell she was						stronger connections than people who are most	39
40	So broken-hearted						content I don't have any regrets they can talk	40
41	She said "Even the swap meets around here are pretty corrupt"						about me plenty when I'm gone You always said	41
42							people don't do what they believe in they just do	42
43	"How far are you all going ?" Ruby asked us with a sigh						what's most convenient then they repent And I	43
44	"We're going all the way until the wheels fall off and burn						always said. "Hang on to me baby                    and let's hope	44
45	Until the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies"						that the roof stays on".	45
6	Ruby just smiled and said. "Ah you know some babies never learn"							6
46							There was a movie I seen one time I think I sat	46
47	Something about that movie though well I just can't get it out of my head						through                                                        it twice I don't remember who I was or	47
48	But I can't remember why I was in it or what part I                      was supposed to play						where                          I was bound All                 I remember about it was it	48
49	All I remember about it was Gregory Peck                   and the way people moved						starred                              Gregory Peck he wore a gun and he was shot	49
50	And                         a lot of them seemed to be looking my way						in the back Seems like a long time ago long before	50
79							the stars were torn down.	79
51	Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls						Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls Teeth	51
