I played the Red River Valley
and he'd sit out in
the kitchen and cry.
And run his fingers through
seventy years of livin'.

And wonden Lord,

has every well I've drilled
run dry?

We were friends,
me and 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 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 old Western movies.

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 dominos,
Iyin' about their lives
while they played.

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
pushin' eighty.

And there's brown
tobacco stains all down
his chin.

To me he's one of the heroes
of this country

So why's he's all dressed up
like them old men.

Drinkin' beer and playin'
Moon and Fourty-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 us up

a kitchen.
And sang another verse
to that old song.

(Spokenj
Come on, Jack,

that son-of-a-gun's
a' comin'.

Like desperados
waiting for a train.

Like desperados
waiting for a train.

Like desperados
waiting for a train.

Like desperados
waiting for a train.
