Desperados Waiting For A Train  Guy Clark



[C]I'd play the R[G]ed River V[C]alley,[F] [C]
He'd[G] sit in the kitchen and c[Am]ry.[Am7/G]
Run his f[F]ingers through s[G]eventy y[C]ear[C/B]s of l[Am]ivin'[Am/G]
And wonder L[F]ord, has every [Dm]well I drilled run [G]dry.[G7]
We were friends me and this o[C]ld man.
CHORUS

Like des[Am]peradoes waiting f[G]or a t[F]rain,[G]
Like des[Am]peradoes waiting f[G]or a t[F]rain, [C] [Dm] [Dm7] [G] [G7]

VERSE 2

He's a drifter he's a driller of oil wells,
He's an old school man of the world,
He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to,
Then he'd wink and give me money for the girls,
And our lives was like some old western movie.

VERSE 3

From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him,
to a place called the Green Frog Cafe,
There was old men with beer guts and dominoes,
Lyin' 'bout their lives while they'd play,
And I was just a kid they called me sidekick

VERSE 4

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 all dressed up like them old men,
Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty Two

VERSE 5

The day before he died I went to see him
I was grown and he was almost gone
We closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
And sang another verse to that old song
Come on Jack, that son of a bitch is a-coming.
