《Down Across The Delaware(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Down Across The Delaware - James Mcmurtry

[00:00:27] Bills are paid but it makes no difference

[00:00:32] To the gods that seem to rule our home

[00:00:37] Heat shut off for no known reason

[00:00:41] This old building's got a mind of its own

[00:00:54] I can tell your footsteps on the stairs

[00:00:56] From three flights up

[00:00:58] I know the jingling of your keys

[00:01:03] You won't hear no and you don't look back

[00:01:05] And you can't slow down

[00:01:07] These days you don't have much to say to me

[00:01:12] In another town what would fetch a good living

[00:01:17] Here is barely hand to mouth

[00:01:21] So I'm going out and get a U-Haul trailer

[00:01:26] Drag it down the turnpike south

[00:01:30] Where the Garden State gives way to the real world

[00:01:35] Falls away in the rearview mirror

[00:01:38] We'll mend our wounds and wait out the winter

[00:01:43] Down across the Delaware

[00:01:57] We get along in a manner of speaking

[00:02:02] We barely have to speak at all

[00:02:06] Small talk over take-out pizza

[00:02:10] Silently passing in the hall

[00:02:15] Post-It notes opposite shifts

[00:02:24] Once in a blue moon we'll wake up in the same room

[00:02:28] Thankful for these the many gifts

[00:02:32] We run by night we live it and breathe it

[00:02:36] We're the best of the best and I just don't care

[00:02:41] I'll mend my wounds and wait out the winter

[00:02:46] Down across the Delaware

[00:02:50] And I'll see you in the spring

[00:02:54] When the chill don't cut so deep

[00:02:58] I'll be back around

[00:03:01] To give this town another crack at me

[00:03:35] I heard a voice today I swore I knew

[00:03:39] From somewhere down in the southern sticks

[00:03:43] I turned around to see some ragged stranger

[00:03:48] Bumming change on the uptown six

[00:03:51] And I froze like a stone

[00:03:56] Could I ever get that low

[00:04:00] Turned my face to the window

[00:04:05] There by the grace of God I go

[00:04:10] Where the Garden State

[00:04:11] Gives way to the real world

[00:04:14] Falls away in the rearview mirror

[00:04:18] I'll mend my wounds and wait out the winter

[00:04:23] Down across the Delaware
