《Gary， Indiana 1959》歌词

[00:00:00] Gary, Indiana 1959 - Dave Alvin

[00:00:10] I'm old weak and grey and i'm running out of time

[00:00:17] Yeah but you should have seen me brother

[00:00:20] When i was young and in my prime

[00:00:25] Back in gary indiana in 1959

[00:00:33] I was a steel working man with 2 kids and loving wife

[00:00:41] And the union was strong smokestacks burning day and night

[00:00:49] Back in gary indiana in 1959

[00:00:57] But then the accountants and lawyers and bosses at u s steel

[00:01:01] Sent down the word we had to take their rotten deal

[00:01:05] But from birmingham to pueblo oakland to allentown

[00:01:09] The workers got together and we shut the big boys down

[00:01:13] The president and supreme court tried to force us off the line

[00:01:20] Back in gary indiana in 1959

[00:01:52] The 59 years disappeared in the blink of an eye

[00:01:56] And i feel like a stranger in world that isn't mine

[00:02:00] My dear wife died my kids all moved away

[00:02:04] Cause there's nothing round here to make them want to stay

[00:02:08] Cause the factories are in ruins decent jobs are hard to find

[00:02:12] And you can't get ahead no matter how hard you try

[00:02:15] Cause the big boys make the rules tough luck for everyone else

[00:02:19] And out on the streets brother it's every man for himself

[00:02:24] I still remember when we marched side by side

[00:02:31] Back in gary indiana in 1959

[00:03:26] Don't bury my body brother when it's my time to die

[00:03:34] Just throw me in that smelter let my ashes fly

[00:03:41] Back home to gary indiana in 1959

[00:03:49] Back to gary indiana in 1959
