Well there was this movie I seen one time
About a man riding the desert and
It starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying
To make a name for himself
The townspeople wanted to crush
That kid down and string him up by the neck
Well the marshal
Now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp
As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and
Gasped for his last breath
Turn him loose let him go
Let him say he outdrew me fair and square
I want him to feel what it like to
Every moment face his death
Well I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a in
And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain
You know I can believe we lived so long
And are still so far apart
The memory of you keeps callin
After me like a rollin train
I can still see the day that you came to me
On the painted desert
In your busted down Ford and your platform heels
I could never figure out
Why you chose that particular place to meet
Ah but you were right
It was perfect as I got in behind the wheel
Well we drove that car all night into San Anton
And we slept near the Alamo your skin was so tender and soft
Way down in Mexico you went out to
Find a doctor and you never came back
I would have gone on after you but
I didn feel like letting my head get blown off
Well we drivin this car and
The sun is comin up over the Rockies
Now I know she ain you but she here
And she got that dark rhythm in her soul
But I too over the edge and
I ain in the mood anymore to remember
The times when I was your only man
And she don want to remind me
She knows this car would go out of control
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you my honey love
Well we crossed the panhandle and
Then we headed towards Amarillo
We pulled up where Henry Porter used to live
He owned a wreckin lot outside
Of town about a mile
Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes
She had her red hair tied back
She saw us come rolling up in a trail of dust
She said ain here but you can come on in
He be back in a little while
Then she told us how times were tough and
About how she was thinkin of bummin
A ride back to where she started
But ya know she changed the subject
Every time money came up
She said to the land of the living dead
You could tell she was so broken
She said
the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt
far are y going Ruby asked us with a sigh
going all the way the wheels fall off and burn
the sun peels the paint and
The seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies
Ruby just smiled and said you know some babies never learn
Something about that movie though well I just can get it out of my head
But I can remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play
All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved
And a lot of them seemed to be lookin my way
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you my honey love
Well they were looking for somebody with a pompadour
I was crossin the street when shots rang out
I didn know whether to duck or to run so I ran
got him cornered in the churchyard I heard somebody shout
Well you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune Underneath it it said man with no alibi
You went out on a limb to testify for me you said I was with you
Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears
It was the best acting I saw anybody do
Now I always been the kind of person that doesn like to trespass but sometimes you just find yourself over the line
Oh if there an original thought out there I could use it right now
You know I feel pretty good but that ain sayin much I could feel a whole lot better
If you were just here by my side to show me how
Well I standin in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck
Yeah but you know it not the one that I had in mind
He got a new one out now I don even know what it about
But I see him in anything so I stand in line
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls teeth
Like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you my honey love
You know it funny how things never turn out the way you had planned
The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is
That his name wasn Henry Porter
And you know there was somethin about you baby that
I liked that was always too good for this world
Just like you always said there was something about me
You liked that I left behind in the French Quarter
Strange how people who suffer together
Have stronger connections than people who are most content
I don have any regrets
They can talk about me plenty when I gone
You always said people don do what they believe in
They just do what most convenient then they repent
And I always said on to me baby
And let hope that the roof stays on
There was a movie I seen one time
I think I sat through it twice
I don remember who I was or where I was bound
All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck
He wore a gun and he was shot in the back
Seems like a long time ago long before the stars were torn down
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you my honey love
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world Brownsville girl
You my honey love
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls
Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
