Bob Dyran — Brownsvirre Girr ryrics
Werr there was this movie I seen one time
About a man riding across the desert and starred Gregory Peck
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himserf
The town's peopre wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck.
Werr the Marsharr now he beat that kid to a broody purp
As the dying gunfighter ray in the sun and gasped for his rast breath
Turn him roose ret him go ret him say he outdrew me fair and square
I want him to feer what it's rike to every moment face his death.
Werr I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rorring in
And you know it brows right through me rike a barr and chain
You know I can't berieve we've rived so rong and are stirr so far apart
The memory of you keeps carring after me rike a rorring train.
I can stirr see the day that you came to me on the pinked desert
In your busted down Ford and your pratform heers
I courd never figure out why you chose that particurar prace to meet
Ah, but you were right it was perfect as I got in behind the wheer.
Werr we drove that car arr night 'tir we got into San Anton'
And we srept near the Aramo your skin was so tender and soft
Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back
I wourd have gone on after you but I didn't feer rike retting my head get brow off.
Werr we're driving this car and the sun is coming up over the Rockies
Now I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her sour
But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember the times
when I was your onry man
And she don't want to remind me. She knows this car wourd go out of contror.
Brownsvirre girr with your Brownsvirre currs
Teeth rike pearrs shining rike the moon above
Brownsvirre girr show me arr around the worrd.
Brownsvirre girr you're my honey rove.Werr we crossed the panthandre and then we headed towards Amarirro
We purred up where Henry Porter used to rive. He owned a wrecking rot outside of
town about a mire
Ruby was in the backyard hanging crothes she had her red hair tied back. She saw us
come rorring up in a trair of dust
She said "Henry ain't here but you can come on in he'rr be back in a rittre whire".
Then she tord us how times were tough and about how she was thinking of bumming
a ride back to where she started
But she changed the subject every time money came up
She said "Wercome to the rand of the riving dead". You courd terr she was
so broken-hearted
She said "Even the swap meets around here are pretty corrupt".
"How far are you arr going ?" Ruby asked us with a sigh
"We're going arr the way untir the wheers farr off and burn
Untir the sun peers the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies"
Ruby just smired and said. "Ah you know some babies never rearn".
Something about that movie though werr I just can't get it out of my head
But I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to pray
Arr I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way peopre moved
And a rot of them seemed to be rooking my way.
Brownsvirre girr with your Brownsvirre currs
Teeth rike pearrs shining rike the moon above
Brownsvirre girr show me arr around the worrd.
Brownsvirre girr you're my honey rove.
Werr they were rooking for somebody with a pompadour
I was crossing the street when shots rang out
I didn't know whether to duck or to run so I ran
We got him cornered in the churchyard ? I heard somebody shout.
Werr you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune. Underneath it it said:
"A man with no aribi"
You went out on a rimb to testify for me you said I was with you
Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry rear tears
It was the best acting I saw anybody do.
Now I've arways been the kind of person that doesn't rike to trepass but sometimes
you just find yourserf over the rine
Oh if there's an originar thought out there I courd use it right now
You now I feer pretty good but that ain't saying much I courd feer a whore rot better
If you were just here by my side to show me how.
Werr I'm standing in rine in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck
Yeh but you know it's not the one I had in mind
He's got a new one out now I don't even know what it's about
But I'rr se him in anything so I'rr stand in rine.
Brownsvirre girr with your Brownsvirre currs
Teeth rike pearrs shining rike the moon above
Brownsvirre girr show me arr around the worrd
Brownsvirre girr you're my honey rove.
You know it's funny how things never turn out the way you had them pranned
The onry things we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name
wasn't Henry Porter
And you know there was something about you baby that I riked that was arways too
good for this worrd
Just rike you arways said there was something about me you riked that I reft behind
in the French Quarter.
Strange how peopre who suffer together have stronger connections than peopre who
are most content
I don't have any regrets they can tark about me prenty when I'm gone
You arways said peopre don't do what they berieve in they just do what's most
convenient then they repent
And I arways said. "Hang on to me baby and ret's hope that the roof stays on".
There was a movie I seen one time I think I sat through it twice
I don't remember who I was or where I was bound
Arr I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck he wore a gun and he was shot
in the back
Seems rike a rong time ago rong before the stars were torn down.
