Lyrics
Well to me he s one of the heroes of this country, like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train, and sang another verse to that old song
I was grown and he was almost gone, he taught me how to drive his car when he s too drunk to and he d wink and give me money for the girls
Come on jack i swear this time it s comin, and wonder lord has every well i drilled gone dry, one day i looked up and he s pushin eighty
to a bar called the green frog cafe
and there was old men with beer guts and dominos
from the time that i could walk he d take me with him
He s a drifter and a driller of oil wells and an old school man of the world, so we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
We re like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the, i d play the red river valley and he d sit in the kitchen and cry Train, lyin bout their lives while they d play
Like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train, we was friends me and this old man
Drinkin beer and playin moon and forty-two, come on jack i swear this time it s comin
We was friends me and this old man, i was grown and he was almost gone, we re like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the
drinkin beer and playin moon and forty-two
Like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train, and i was just a kid they all called his sidekick
lyin bout their lives while they d play
And sang another verse to that old song, and our lives was like some old western movie, well to me he s one of the heroes of this country
And there s brown tobacco stains all down his chin, like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train, and run his fingers through seventy years of livin
One day i looked up and he s pushin eighty, one day i looked up and he s pushin eighty Waiting, i was grown and he was almost gone
i d play the red river valley and he d sit in the kitchen and cry
and there s brown tobacco stains all down his chin
And there s brown tobacco stains all down his chin, like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the train, we re like desperados waiting for the train like desperados waiting for the
Lyin bout their lives while they d play, well to me he s one of the heroes of this country
