[Verse]
I'd play the Red River Valley
He'd sit in the kitchen and cry
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
Wonder, "Lord, has every well I've ever drilled run dry?"
We was friends, me and this old man
[Chorus]
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Desperados waitin' for a train
[Verse]
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
And an old-school man of the world
He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to
He'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives were like some old western movie
[Chorus]
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Desperados waitin' for a train
[Verse 3]
From the time that I could walk, he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
There were old men with beer guts and dominoes
Just lying about their lives while they played
I was just a kid they called his sidekick
I'd play the Red River Valley
He'd sit in the kitchen and cry
Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
Wonder, "Lord, has every well I've ever drilled run dry?"
We was friends, me and this old man
[Chorus]
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Desperados waitin' for a train
[Verse]
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
And an old-school man of the world
He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to
He'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives were like some old western movie
[Chorus]
Like desperados waitin' for a train
Desperados waitin' for a train
[Verse 3]
From the time that I could walk, he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
There were old men with beer guts and dominoes
Just lying about their lives while they played
I was just a kid they called his sidekick
