[Verse 1: Kris Kristofferson]
I played the Red River Valley
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry
And run his fingers through seventy years of living
And wonder Lord, as ever, will that drill run dry?
We were friends, me an this old man
[Chorus]
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
[Verse 2: Waylon Jennings]
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
And an old-school man of the world
He'd let me drive his car when he's too drunk to
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives were like some old western movie
[Chorus]
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
From the time that I could walk, he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
And there were old men with beer-guts and dominoes
Lying about their lives while they played
And I was just a kid they called his sidekick
I played the Red River Valley
And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry
And run his fingers through seventy years of living
And wonder Lord, as ever, will that drill run dry?
We were friends, me an this old man
[Chorus]
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
[Verse 2: Waylon Jennings]
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
And an old-school man of the world
He'd let me drive his car when he's too drunk to
And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
And our lives were like some old western movie
[Chorus]
Like desperados waiting for a train
Like desperados waiting for a train
[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
From the time that I could walk, he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
And there were old men with beer-guts and dominoes
Lying about their lives while they played
And I was just a kid they called his sidekick
