2 more roughneck songs. Some good shots. Stay proud.

Yeah I played the Red River Valley

He'd sit in the kitchen and cry

Run the fingers through seventy years of livin'

"Wonder, if every well he'd drilled gone dry?"

We was friends, me and this old man

Desperados waitin' for a train

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

To a place 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

Yeah he's a drifter, he's a driller of oil wells

He's an old school man of the world

He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to

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

And our lives was like, some old Western movie

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's one of the heroes of this country

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

Just drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two

Like a desperado waitin' for a train

The day before he died I went to see him

Yeah I was grown and he was almost gone

We closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen

We played another verse of that old song

Yeah Jack you know, that son-of-a-bitch is comin'

Perfect song of REAL oilmen
