《The Last Gunfighter Ballad》歌词

[00:00:00] The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Guy Clark

[00:00:06] The old gunfighter on the porch

[00:00:09] Stared into the sun

[00:00:12] And relived the days of living by the gun

[00:00:19] When deadly games of pride were played

[00:00:22] And living was mistakes not made

[00:00:25] And the thought of the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:00:27] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:00:31] Ah the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:00:33] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:00:38] It's always keep your back to the sun

[00:00:41] And he can almost feel the weight of the gun

[00:00:44] It's faster than snakes or the blink of an eye

[00:00:48] And it's a time for all slow men to die

[00:00:50] And his eyes get squinty and his fingers twitch

[00:00:53] And he empties the gun at the son of a bitch

[00:00:56] And he's hit by the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:00:59] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:01:03] Hit by the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:01:06] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:01:11] Now the burn of a bullet is only a scar

[00:01:14] He's back in his chair in front of the bar

[00:01:17] And the streets are empty and the blood's all dried

[00:01:20] And the dead are dust and the whiskey's inside

[00:01:23] So buy him a drink and lend him an ear

[00:01:26] He's nobody's fool and the only one here

[00:01:29] Who remembers the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:01:32] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:01:35] Remember the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:01:38] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:01:43] He said I stood in that street before it was paved

[00:01:46] Learned shoot or be shot before I could shave

[00:01:49] And I did it all for the money and fame

[00:01:53] Noble was nothing but feeling no shame

[00:01:55] And nothing was sacred but stayin' alive

[00:01:58] And all that I learned from a Colt 45

[00:02:01] Was to curse the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:02:04] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:02:08] Curse the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:02:10] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:02:15] Now he's just an old man that no one believes

[00:02:19] Says he's a gunfighter the last of the breed

[00:02:22] And there are ghosts in the street seeking revenge

[00:02:25] Calling him out to the lunatic fringe

[00:02:28] Now he's out in the traffic checking the sun

[00:02:31] And he's killed by a car as he goes for his gun

[00:02:34] So much for the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:02:37] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

[00:02:40] So much for the smell of the black powder smoke

[00:02:43] And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke
