Lyrics:
(Kris) 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 livin' And wonder "Lord, has every well I drilled run dry" We were friends, me and this ol' man (All) Like desperados waiting for a train Like desperados waiting for a train (Waylon) He was a drifter and a driller of oil wells And an ol' school man of the world He let me drive his car when he was too drunk to And he'd wink and give me money for the girls And our lives were like some ol' western movie (All) Like desperados waiting for a train Like desperados waiting for a train (Willie) From the time that I could walk, he'd take me with him To a bar called The Green Frog Cafe And there were ol' men with beer guts and dominos Lyin' 'bout their lives while they played And I was just a kid they called his sidekick (All) Like desperados waiting for a train Like desperados waiting for a train (Johhny) One day, I looked up, and he was pushin' eighty And ther was brown tobacco stains on all down his chin To me, he's one of the heros of this country So why's he dressed up like them ol' men Drinkin' beer, and playin' Moon and Forty-Two (All) Like desperados waiting for a train Like desperados waiting for a train (Willie) 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 us up a kitchen And sang another verse to that ol' song Kris: C'mon, Jack. That son of a gun's a-comin'. (All) Like desperados waiting for a train Like desperados waiting for a train (All) Like desperados waiting for a train Like desperados waiting for a train
