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
