Desperados Waiting for a Train
Recorded by The Highwaymen
Written by Guy Clark

C A#7 Am
I'd play the Red River Valley
G7 Am
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry
F Dm C Am
And run his fingers through seventy years of living
F Dm G7
And wonder Lord has every well I've drilled run dry
C
We were friends me and this old man
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F Am Dm G7
Like desperados waiting for a train

C A#7 Am
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
G7 Am
And an old school man of the world
F Dm C Am
He let me drive his car when he's too drunk to
F Dm G7
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
C
And our lives were like some old western movie
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F Am Dm G7
Like desperados waiting for a train

C A#7 Am
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
G7 Am
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
F Dm C Am
There were old men with beer guts and dominos
F Dm G7
Lying 'bout their lives while they'd played
C
And I was just a kid they all called his sidekick
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F Am Dm G7
Like desperados waiting for a train

C A#7 Am
One day I looked up and he's pushing eighty
G7 Am
And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin
F Dm C Am
To me he's one of the heroes of this country
F Dm G7
So why's he all dressed up like them old men
C
Drinking beer and playing Moon and Forty-two
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F Am Dm G7
Like desperados waiting for a train

C A#7 Am
A day before he died I went to see him
G7 Am
I was grown and he was almost gone
F Dm C Am
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
F Dm G7
And sang another verse to that old song
C
Come on Jack that son of a guns are coming
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F
Like desperados waiting for a train
Am F
Like desperados waitin for a train
