Desperados waitin' for a train The Highway men
Intro D G A D G A
[Kris]
D D6 A D
I'd play the Red River Valley
A Bm
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry
G G/F# Em D Bm
And run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
G G/F# Em A
And wonder, "Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry?"
A D
We was friends, me and this old man
Bm G
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G G F#m Em A
Like desperados waitin' for a train
[Merle]
D D6 A D
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
A Bm
And an old school man of the world
G G/F# Em D Bm
He’d let me drive his car When he's too drunk to
G G/F# Em A
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
A D
And our lives was like some old western movie
Bm G
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G G F#m Em A
Like desperados waitin' for a train
[Willie]
D D6 A D
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
A Bm
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
G G/F# Em D Bm
And there was old men with beer guts and dominos
G G/F# Em A
Lying 'bout their lives while they play
A D
And I was just a kid They called me "Sidekick"
Bm G
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G G F#m Em A
Like desperados waitin' for a train
[Johnny]
D D6 A D
One day I looked up and he was pushin' eighty
A Bm
And there’s brown tobacco stains all down his chin
G G/F# Em D Bm
To me he's one of the heroes of this country
G G/F# Em A
So why's he all dressed up like them old men
A D
Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two
Bm G
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G G F#m Em A
Like desperados waitin' for a train
[Willie]
D D6 A D
A day before he died, I went to see him
A Bm
I was grown and he was almost gone
[Merle]
G G/F# Em D Bm
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
G G/F# Em A
And sang another verse to that old song
Spoken
A D
"Come on, Jack, that son of a gun is a’comin' "
[Chorus]
Bm G
We’re desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Bm G G F#m Em A D
Like desperados waitin' for a train
