《Iron Road》歌词

[00:00:00] Iron Road - Old 97's

[00:00:14] Hundred lists of reasons I keep 'round

[00:00:19] Why I never had a family

[00:00:22] Why I couldn't settle down

[00:00:24] Why I'd sooner in the mirror see a hobo lookin' low

[00:00:30] But the reasons now escape me as I walk the iron road

[00:00:37] Like a lot of kids I left my boyhood home

[00:00:43] Worked a little on the railroad Worked a little travelin' on

[00:00:49] Til the closest that I ever got to an address or a phone

[00:00:55] Was the day I spent my last two bits on a one page letter home

[00:01:02] At 21 my arches lay down flat

[00:01:08] 22 I started takin' loans

[00:01:13] But if the train will come I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones

[00:01:19] And I'll curse the wheels that roll me roll me down that iron road

[00:01:49] Iron road iron road you'll never give up the gold

[00:02:00] I spent 24 hours today lookin' back and feelin' low

[00:02:06] 24 hours of lookin' back can kill you I've been told

[00:02:13] At 60 my dad left that boyhood town

[00:02:18] Within a year our mother followed him to higher ground

[00:02:24] And I'll be next to join 'em soon as I see that engine roll

[00:02:32] Gonna lay my head on the railroad bed and leave that iron road

[00:02:37] Gonna lay my head on the railroad bed and leave that iron road

[00:02:44] At 21 my arches lay down flat

[00:02:50] 22 I started takin' loans

[00:02:56] But if the train will come I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones

[00:03:02] And I'll curse the wheels that roll me roll me down that iron road
