I wish I could remember that movie just a little bit better
All I remember about it was that it starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down in the back 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 Sheriff beat that boy into 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's like to evеry moment face his death'
Wеll I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in
And it blows right through me like a ball and chain
You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart
Your memory 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
We drove that car all night into San Antone
And we slept near the Alamo, fell out under the stars
Way down in Mexico you went out to see a doctor and you never came back
I stayed there a while, till the whole place it started feelin' like mars
Well, I'm driving this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies
Somethin' about it reminds me of you, like when she sings "Baby, let the
Good times roll"
But I'm too over the edge to remember the things we used to talk about or do
And she don’t want to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control
