Well, there was this movie I seen one time,
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 kid down and string him up by the neck.
Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp
as the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath.
Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square,
I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death.
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in
And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain.
You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart.
The memory of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train.
I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert
In your busted down Ford and your platform heels
I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet
Ah, but you were right. It was perfect as I got in behind the wheel.
Well, we drove that car all night into San Anton'
And we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft.
Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back.
I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off.
Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies,
Now I know she ain't you but she's here 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 to remember the times when I was your only man
And she don't want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control.
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brownsville girl, you're my honey love.
Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards Amarillo
WYou don't mind if I sit next to you
Do you madam
Help me with a point or two
Help me madam?
Help me ma'am to walk on by
Help me madam
A desert flood and a hole in the sky
Help me madam
I don't make a fuss
I can't do because
I'm just another loony sitting next to you on the bus
Yes I am ma'am
3000 acres of forest a day
Hell for leather
Felled and killed evaporates away
Heavy weather
Drifting north the deluge breaks
Acid mother
Death to all you swedish lakes
Altogether
If you make a fuss
I'll get you (faster) because
I'm bulldog english loony sitting next to you on the bus
Yes I am ma'am
But what I say ain't worth a sheet
Is it mother?
Breaking methane through the seat
Listen mother
Lighting it to warm my feet
Only mother
How we gonna cool the heat
Cool it mother
(and) DON'T MAKE A FUSS
BECAUSE OTHERWISE
THEY'LL THINK YOU'RE JUST A LOONY SITTING NEXT TO ME ON THE BUS
