Bob Dylan - Brownsville girl

^EWell, there was this movie I seen one time, ^DAbout a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck. ^EHe was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself. ^DThe townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck.

^EWell, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp ^Das the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath. ^ETurn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square, ^DI want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death. ^EWell, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in ^DAnd you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain. ^EYou know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart. ^DThe memory of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train. E

^EIn your busted down Ford and your platform heels ^DI could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet ^EAh, but you were right. It was perfect as I got in behind the wheel. D

^EWell, we drove that car all night into San Anton' ^DAnd we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft. ^EWay down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back. ^DI would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off.

^EWell, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies, ^DNow I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul. ^EBut I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember the

^EAnd she don't want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control. ^DBrownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining

^EBrownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brow^Dnsville girl, you're my honey love. ^EWell, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards Amarillo ^DWe pulled up where Henry Porter used to live. He owned a wreckin' lot outside of town about a mile. ^ERuby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back. ^DShe saw us come rolling up in a trail of dust. ^EShe said, "Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while." ^EThen she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of bummin' a ride back to where she started. ^DBut ya know, she changed the subject every time money came up. ^EShe said, "Welcome to the land of the living dead." You could tell she was so broken-hearted. ^DShe said, "Even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt." ^E"How far are y'all going?" Ruby asked us with a sigh. ^E"We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn, ^D'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies." ^ERuby just smiled and said, "Ah, you know some babies never learn." ^ESomething about that movie though, well I just can't get it out of my head ^DBut I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play. ^EAll I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved ^DAnd a lot of them seemed to be lookin' my way.

Underneath it, it

^EYou went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was with you. ^DThen when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears, ^EIt was the best acting I saw anybody do. ^DNow I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass but ^Esometimes you just find yourself over the line. ^DOh if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now. ^EYou know, I feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much. I could feel a ^Dwhole lot better, ^EIf you were just here by my side to show me how. ^EWell, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck, ^DYeah, but you know it's not the one that I had in mind. ^EHe's got a new one out now, I don't even know what it's about ^DBut I'll see him in anything so I'll stand in line.

^EThere was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice. ^DI don't remember who I was or where I was bound. ^EAll I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he wore a gun and he was shot in the back. ^ESeems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down.
