《Primer Coat》歌词

[00:00:00] Primer Coat - Drive-By Truckers

[00:00:16] The old man's out by the swimming pool

[00:00:20] He goes there to think

[00:00:24] He talks on the phone sometimes

[00:00:27] Hardly mentions a thing

[00:00:31] Said he needed it for his knees

[00:00:35] He used to swim back in school

[00:00:39] Graduated in 84 quit drinking in 92

[00:00:59] He used to call her a basket case for hanging on like she did

[00:01:07] The only girl of a foreman's wife She'd never let him forget

[00:01:15] It comes to women and they survive but when the same comes to men

[00:01:22] Someone comes for their babies something dies there and then

[00:01:43] Slinging gravel in parking lots and looking tough on the hood

[00:01:51] A girl as plain as a primer coat leaves nothing misunderstood

[00:01:58] Her mother and I through trembling lips a steady hand on his own

[00:02:06] The future of every rebel cause when all the fight in him is gone

[00:03:10] My sister's marrying in the spring and everything will be fine

[00:03:18] Mama's planning the wedding Daddy's planning on crying

[00:03:25] She's slipping out of her apron strings

[00:03:30] You best leave him be

[00:03:33] He's staring through his own taillights and gathering speed
