i sometimes think we met out in the desert
following the railroads to their ends
you were never much too brave, but you could rattle off the names
of every mail train that’d be passing where and when

i was small and i was fast. three thousand dollars for to catch me
and i promised that together, we’d be lords
but between the grift and gold, well, you know, the nights got cold
so i learned to read those letters word by word

we were legends by that time, and your reward began to climb
but i was dreaming of the libraries out west
i felt erudite, i guess, and so i penned a grand confession
and i sat and smoked and smirked at your arrest

did i really rat you out when we were partners?
did i swindle daddy’s money? did i ship you off to war?
in a past life, i have surely done you awful
‘cause if i didn’t, what the h~ll is this all for?
if i didn’t, what the h~ll is this all for?

i wonder if we ever had been brothers
specifically, the abrahamic kind
i wonder if i ever shot your mother
she hates me but i guess that we know why
maybe we were buddies in the trenches
or at least, that’s what historians would say
but when you bled out in my arms, you said, “go out to summer farms
and tell sally i’d have married her someday”

i made it through the war; i found the town, i found the girl
with your portrait in my pocket all the while
i limped up to her door and heard her slippers on the floor
and i recognized her heart~shaped locket smile

it turned into a frown when i said, “sal, you best sit down”
and her hand began to tremble held in mine
“my friend was dearer than my life, and he’d have taken you to wife
but he’s shacked up with a wh0re along the rhine”

did i drag you through the mud when we were comrades?
did i send you up the river with no rudder and no oar?
in the last one, did i really let you down, boy?
‘cause if i didn’t, what the h~ll is this all for?
if i didn’t, what the h~ll is this all for?

she poured a glass of mischief for herself on the night that she made you
but it overflowed the one, and so she poured it out in two
when this tv drama’s over, when the mail train whistle trails
when we crawl up from these trenches, when i finally post your bail
i’ll say you’re still my friend although we’ve taken things too far
you know i want you in my life no matter who and where we are
so come and find me in the next one as we’ve both done every time
but my old friend, do me a favor. tip your hat and pass me by

let’s just be acquaintances next time
let’s just be acquaintances next time

if i still dream about the old days, well, dreamers often lie

i can’t wait to be acquaintances next time
