Intro :D A/Db Bm E A A(sus2) (x2)
WAell there was this movie I seen one tiDme
AbBmout a man riding 'cross the desert and it sEtarred Gregory PeAck
HAe was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a nDame for himself
The tBmownspeople wanted to crush that kid down and stEring him up by the nAeck
WAell the marshal now he beat that kid to a bloody puDlp
ABms the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gaEsped for his last brAeath
TAurn him loose let him go let him say he outdrew me fair and Dsquare
IBm want him to feel what it's like to every moment Eface his deatAh
WAell I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rollingD in
ABmnd you know it blows right through me like a bEall and chaiAn
YAou know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far Dapart
TBmhe memory of you keeps callin' after me like aE rollin' traiAn
IA can still see the day that you came to me on the painteDd desert
IBmn your busted down Ford and your plaEtform heelsA
IA could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meDet
ABmh but you were right it was perfect as I got in Ebehind the wheelA
WAell we drove that car all night into San AntDon'
ABmnd we slept near the Alamo your skin was sEo tender and soAft
WAay down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you neDver came back
IBm would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like lettiEng my head get blowAn off
WAell we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the DRockies
NBmow I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that Edark rhythm in her sAoul
BAut I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember
the times when I was your Donly man
ABmnd she don't want to remind me she knows this car would Ego out of contrAol
BArownsville girl with your BrownsvDille curls
TBmeeth like pearls shiniEng like the moon abAove
BArownsville girl show me all around the Dworld
BBmrownsville girl you'Ere my honey loAve
WAell we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards AmDarillo
WBme pulled up where Henry Porter used to live he oEwned a wreckin' lot outside of town abouAt a mile
RAuby was in the backyard hanging clothes she had her red hair tied back
She saw us come rollDing up in a trail of dust
SBmhe said Henry ain't here but you can come on in Ehe'll be back in a little Awhile
TAhen she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of
bummin' a ride back to where Ashe started
BBmut she changed the subject every time Emoney came upA
SAhe said welcome to the land of the living dead you could tell she was so brokAen-hearted
SBmhe said even the swap meets around here are getEting pretty corArupt
HAow far are y'all going Ruby asked us with a sigDh
WBme're going all the way 'til the wheels faEll off and burAn
'ATil the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water mocDcasin dies
RBmuby just smiled and said ah you know some Ebabies never learnA
SAomething about that movie though well I just can't get it out ofD my head
BBmut I can't remember why I was in it or what part I waEs supposed to plAay
AAll I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way peopleD moved
ABmnd a lot of them seemed to be lookEin' my wayA
BArownsville girl with your BrownsvDille curls
TBmeeth like pearls shiniEng like the moon abAove
BArownsville girl show me all around the Dworld
BBmrownsville girl you'Ere my honey loAve
WAell they were looking for somebody with a pomDpadour
IBm was crossin' the street when shoEts rang out A
IA didn't know whether to duck or to run so I raDn
WBme got him cornered in the churchyard I hEeard somebody shouAt
WAell you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune underneath it it said a man wDith no alibi
YBmou went out on a limb to testify for me yoEu said I was with yAou
TAhen when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real Dtears
IBmt was the best acting I saw aEnybody do A
NAow I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass
but sometimes you just find yourself over the Dline
OBmh if there's an original thought out there I could usEe it right noAw
YAou know I feel pretty good but that ain't sayin' much I could feel a wDhole lot better
IBmf you were just here by my siEde to show me howA
WAell I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring GregoDry Peck
YBmeah but you know it's not the one thaEt I had in minAd
HAe's got a new one out now I don't even know what it's Dabout

BBmrownsville girl you'Ere my honey loAve
YAou know it's funny how things never turn out the way you had 'em planDned
TBmhe only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is Ethat his name wasn't Henry PoArter
AAnd you know there was somethin' about you baby that I liked that was always too good fDor this world
JBmust like you always said there was something about me yoEu liked
that I left behind in the FrenchA Quarter
SAtrange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who areD most content
IBm don't have any regrets they can talk about mEe plenty when I'm goneA
YAou always said people don't do what they believe in
they just do what's most convenient then Dthey repent
ABmnd I always said hang on to me baby anEd let's hope that the roof staysA on
TAhere was a movie I seen one time I think I sat through it Dtwice
IBm don't remember who I was or whEere I was bounAd
AAll I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck he wore a gun and he was shot in the Dback
SBmeems like a long time ago long before the Estars were torn downA
