Desperados Waiting for a Train - The Highwaymen

All around the water tank waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk He said if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk Well I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco headin' back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home, waitin' for a train

I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river And I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport And I followed you, big river, when she called Oh, she took me to St. Louis later on, down the river A freighter said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone An' I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block Raised a few eyebrows, and went on down alone Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long When I left, it was raining, so nobody saw me crying Big river, why she buried me this way? Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge? River Queen, roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans Go on, I've had enough Dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you, big river, more than me I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, big river Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

(Waylon Jennings) Look here, is that you I see? You sure seem down to me. Would you like to tell it to a friend? I can help if anyone can. You know I understand. Everyone gets crazy now and then. (Johnny Cash) I know those empty nights get lonely. Sometimes you feel like you're the only one, To lose more then he wins. Guess these troubled times get scary. But that's just ordinary. (All) Everyone gets crazy now and then. (Willie Nelson) And who can say they've never stumbled, And never fallen to their knees? Your dreams like castles when they crumble, Well, I know what you mean, And I know how hard it can seem. (Kris Kristofferson)) I get crazy just like you. Lost and lonely too. Like some old flag left flyin' in the wind. Time has taught me this for sure. Time is the only cure. All your blues will turn to gold again. (All) Oh, everyone gets crazy now and then.
