Well, there was this movie I seen one time
Bm
About a man riding 'cross the desert

and it starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying

to make a name for himself

The townspeople wanted to crush that
E
A
kid down and string him up by the neck
Verse 2
A
Well, the marshal,
D
now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp
Bm
E
As the dy ing gunfighter lay in the sun
A
and gasped for his last breath
Turn him loose, let him go,
D
let him say he outdrew me fair and square
Bm
I want him to feel what it's like
D
A
to every moment face his death
E
Well, I keep seeing
Verse 3
A
this stuff
and it just comes a-rolling in
D
in
Bm
And you know it blows right through me
E
D
A
like a ball and chain
You know I can't believe we've lived so
D
long and are still so far apart
Bm
The memory of you keeps call
E
A
in' after me like a rollin' train
Verse 4
A
I can still see the day that you came to
D
me on the painted desert
Bm
In your bus ted down Ford
Esus4
A
and your platform heels
I could never figure out why you chose

that particular place to meet

Ah, but you were right,
D
A
it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel
Verse 5
A
Well, we drove that car all night
D
into San Anton'
Bm
And we slept near the Alamo,
Esus4
A
your skin was so tender and soft
D
A
Way down in Mexico you went out to
D
find a doctor and you never came back
Bm
I would have gone on after you but I didn't
Esus4
D
A
feel like letting my head get blown off
Verse 6
A
Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun
is comin' up over the Rockies
D
Bm
Now I know she ain't you but she's here
E
A
and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul
But I'm too over the edge and
I ain't in the mood anymore
D
To remember the times when
I was your only man
Bm
And she don't want to remind me,
E
A
Esus4
she knows this car would go out of control

Well, we crossed the panhandle
D
and then we headed towards Amarillo
We pulled up where Henry

Porter used to live
Bm
E
He owned a wreckin' lot outside
A
D
of town about a mile
A
Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes,
D
she had her red hair tied back
She saw us come rolling
up in a trail of dust
Bm
E
She said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in,
A
D
he'll be back in a little while
Verse 9
us how times were tough
and about how she was thinkin' of
D
Bummin' a ride back to where she started
Bm
But she changed the subject
D
E
every time money came up
D
A
She said, welcome to the land
of the living dead
D
You could tell she was so broken-hearted
Bm
She She said, even the swap meets around here
E
A
are getting pretty corrupt
Verse 10
A
How far are y'all going,
D
Ruby asked us with a sigh
Bm
We're going all the way
E
A
'til the wheels fall off and burn
'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat
D
covers fade and the water moccasin dies
Bm
Ruby just smiled and said,
E
A
ah, you know some babies never learn
Verse 11
A
Something about that movie though,
D
well I just can't get it out of my head
Bm
But I can't remember why I was in it
E
A
or what part I was supposed to play
D
A
All I remember about it was Gregory
D
Peck and the way people moved
Bm
E
And a lot of them seemed to be

Verse 13
A
Well, they were looking for somebody
D
with a pompadour
Bm
I was crossin' the street
E
A
when shots rang out
I didn't know whether to
D
duck or to run, so I ran
Bm
We got him cornered in the churchyard,
E
A
I heard somebody shout
Verse 14
A
Well, you saw my picture in the
Corpus Christi Tribune
D
Underneath it, it said, a man with no alibi
Bm
You went out on a limb to testify for me,
E
A
you said I was with you
Then when I saw you break down in
D
front of the judge and cry real tears
Bm
D
E
It was the be st acting I saw anybody do
Verse 15
A
Now I've always been the kind of person
that doesn't like to trespass
D
But sometimes you just find
yourself over the line
Oh if there's an original thought out there,
E
A
I could use it right now
You know, I feel pretty good, but that
ain't sayin' much
D
I could feel a whole lot better
If you were just here by my
E
D
A
side to show me how
Verse 16
A
Well, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see
D
a movie starring Gregory Peck

Yeah, but you know it's not the
D
E
A
one that I had in mind

Verse 18
A
You know, it's funny how things never turn
D
out the way you had 'em planned
The only thing we knew for
E
sure about Henry Porter
A
Is that his name wasn't Henry Porter
D
A
And you know there was somethin'
about you baby
That I liked that was always
D
too good for this world
Bm
Just like you always said there was
something about me you liked
E
That I left behind in the
French Quarter
A
Verse 19
Strange how people who suffer together
have stronger connections
D
Than people who are most content
Bm
I don't have any regrets,
D
E
A
they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone
You always said people don't
do what they believe in
D
They just do what's most convenient,
then they repent
Bm
D
And I always said, hang on to me, baby,
E
A
and let's hope that the roof stays on
