《Cisco Clifton’s Fillin’ Station》歌词

[00:00:00] Cisco Clifton's Fillin' Station - Johnny Cash

[00:00:14] Cisco Clifton had a fillin' station

[00:00:16] About a mile and a half from town

[00:00:19] Most cars passed unless they were out of gas

[00:00:23] So Cisco was always around

[00:00:26] Regular gas was all that it sold

[00:00:28] Except tobacco matches and oil

[00:00:31] Other than that he fixed lots of flats

[00:00:33] Keepin' Cisco rough hands soiled

[00:00:37] He'd wipe the gas and check the air

[00:00:39] In a hundred times a day

[00:00:42] He patiently gave directions

[00:00:43] On how to get to the state highway

[00:00:49] Usually he'd give 'em water

[00:00:51] Or a tyre or two some air

[00:00:53] And once a big black Cadillac

[00:00:55] Spent seven dollars there

[00:00:58] He'd give anybody anything they'd ask

[00:01:00] And lend anything he had

[00:01:02] His tools are tyres bumper jacks or wire

[00:01:05] To the good ones or the bad

[00:01:09] In wintertime there was a depot stove

[00:01:11] And a table for a checker game

[00:01:13] And every mornin' at sunup

[00:01:15] The same checker players came

[00:01:21] So Cisco Clifton's fillin' station

[00:01:24] Was always in the red

[00:01:26] Personal loans were personally gone

[00:01:29] But never a word was said

[00:01:31] One mornin' at eight them checker players

[00:01:33] Heard a big bulldozer roar like a freight

[00:01:36] And Cisco said I hope my kids stay fed

[00:01:39] When they build that Interstate

[00:01:41] He'd managed to pay for property

[00:01:43] Where his little fillin' station sat

[00:01:46] And friends still came for checker game

[00:01:49] So Cisco settled for that

[00:01:52] He wouldn't say so but Cisco knew

[00:01:54] That the Interstate was too much to fight

[00:01:57] But to keep his will and to pay his bills

[00:02:01] He did odd jobs at night

[00:02:03] He still opened up at sunrise

[00:02:06] And the checker game went on

[00:02:08] The cars flew past on highest gas

[00:02:11] And the neighbors had sold out and gone

[00:02:14] If a car ever did go by he was lost

[00:02:17] And if they stopped they were treated the same

[00:02:22] So at Cisco Clifton's fillin' station

[00:02:26] There's a howdy and a checker game
