Desperados Waiting For A Train Lyrics - Live From Dixie's Bar & Bus Stop - Jerry Jeff Walker

Yeah I played the Red River Valley 

He'd sit in the kitchen and cry 

Run the fingers through seventy years of livin' 

"Wonder, if every well he'd drilled gone dry?" 

We was friends, me and this old man 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

 

Soon as I could walk he'd take me with him 

To a place called the Green Frog Cafe 

There was old men with beer guts and dominoes 

Lying 'bout their lives while they played 

And I was just a kid, they all called me Sidekick 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

 

Yeah he's a drifter, he's a driller of oil wells 

He's an old school man of the world 

He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to 

And he'd wink and give me money for the girls 

And our lives was like, some old Western movie 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

 

One day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty 

He's got brown tobacco stains all down his chin 

To me he's one of the heroes of this country 

So why's he all dressed up like them old men 

Just drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two 

Like a desperado waitin' for a train 

Like a desperado waitin' for a train 

 

The day before he died I went to see him 

Yeah I was grown and he was almost gone 

We closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen 

We played another verse of that old song 

Yeah Jack you know, that son-of-a-bitch is comin' 

 

Like desperados waitin' for a train 

Like desperados waitin' for a train 

Like desperados waitin' for a train 

Like desperados waitin' for a train 

Desperados waitin' for a train 

Desperados waitin'
