VERSE 1
C G
I'd play the Red River Valley,
Am Dmand he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry.
And run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
C G AmAnd wonder Lord, has every well I drilled run dry.
DmWe were friends me and this old man.
CHORUS
Like desperadoes waiting for a train,
F GLike desperadoes waiting for a train,
F GLike desperadoes waiting for a train,
Like desperadoes waiting for a train.
VERSE 2
C G
He's a drifter and a driller of oil wells,
Am Dmand an old school man of the world,
He'd let me drive his car when he's too drunk to,
C G AmAnd he'd wink and give me money for the girls,
DmAnd our lives was like some old western movie.
VERSE 3
From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him,
Am Dmto a bar called the Green Frog Cafe,
D F FmAnd there was old men with beer guts and dominoes,
Lyin' 'bout their lives while they'd play,
DmAnd I was just a kid they called his sidekick
VERSE 4
C G
One day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty,
And there's brown tobacco stains all down his chin,
D F FmTo me he's one of the heroes of this country,
C G AmSo why's he all dressed up like them old men,
Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty Two
VERSE 5
C G
The day before he died I went to see him
Am DmI was grown and he was almost gone
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
C G AmAnd sang another verse to that old song
DmCome on Jack, that son of a bitch is a-coming.
