Desperados Waiting for a Train
By Jerry Jeff Walker
Written By Guy Clark

D A Bm
Yeah, I played the Red River Valley; he'd sit in the kitchen and cry
G A D Bm
Run fingers through seventy years of living
G A
And wonder if every well he'd drilled had gone dry
A D
We was friends, me and this old man
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train

D
As soon as I could walk he'd take me with him
A Bm
To a place called the Green Frog Cafe
G A D Bm
There was old men with beer guts and dominoes
G A
Lying 'bout their lives while they played
A D
And I was just a kid, they all called me "Sidekick"
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train

D
Yeah, he's a drifter, he's a driller of oil wells
A Bm
He's an old school man of the world
G A D
He taught me how to drive his car when he was too drunk to
G A
He'd wink and give me money for the girls
A D
And our lives was like some old Western movie
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train

D
One day I looked up, and he's pushin' eighty
A Bm
He's got brown tobacco stains all down his chin
G A D
To me he was one of the heroes of this country
G A
So why's he all dressed up like them old men
A D
Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-Two
Bm G
Like a desperado waiting for a train
Bm G
Like a desperado waiting for a train

D
The day before he died I went to see him
A Bm
Yeah, I was grown, and he was almost gone
G A D
We closed our eyes and we dreamed us up a kitchen
G A
We played another verse to that old song
(spoken)
"Yeah Jack, you know that son o' a bitch is comin'"
Bm G
Like desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Like desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Like desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Like desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train
Bm G
Desperados waiting for a train
