Judge Roy Lyrics

Judge Roy

The train came behind him like a shot from a gun in yer sleep

And just for a second he forgot what to do with his feet

The photo creases dug in to his chest 'til they cut

And sweet Lily Langtry whispered his name through the dust



So it's out with the older one and in with the new

Here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes

Ah here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes



Champagne heels are gonna dig a golden hole in the dirt

So keep your guns in your jackets I'm sending you out with a curse

Keeping the law from the Pecos to the Rio Grande

And sweet Lily Langtry whispered his name through the sand



So it's out with the older one and in with the new

Here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes

Ah here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes



He heard her name call

As the Texas wind blows

From ten thousand miles away

To the cactus that frames her face



So it's out with the older one and in with the new

Here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes

Ah here comes the judge in somebody else's shoes
