I Gwonder if has every well I've drilled gone Adry

We were Afriends, me and this Dold man ss

BmDesperados waitin' for a Gtrain -i

BmDesperados waitin' for a Gtrain -i

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

To a bar 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 -i

Desperados waitin' for a train -i

He's a drifter, a driller of oil wells

He's an old school man of the world

Taught me how to drive his car when he was too drunk to

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

And our lives were like, some old Western movie

Desperados waitin' for a train -i

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 was a hero of this country

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

Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two

Like desperados waitin' for a train

Desperados waitin' for a train -i

The day before he died I went to see him

I was grown and he was almost gone.

So we closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen

And sang one more verse to that old song

Come on, Jack, that son-of-a-b***h is comin'

Desperados waitin' for a train -i

Desperados waitin' for a train.
