《My Country(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Written by：Randy Newman

[00:00:00] Let's go back to yesterday

[00:00:03] When a phone call cost a dime

[00:00:07] In new orleans just a nickel

[00:00:10] Turn back the hands of time

[00:00:15] Turn back the hands of time

[00:00:22] Picture a room window

[00:00:27] A sofa and some chairs

[00:00:32] A television turned on for the night

[00:00:40] Picture a woman

[00:00:42] Two children seated

[00:00:46] A man lying there

[00:00:51] Their faces softly glowing in the light

[00:00:59] This is my country

[00:01:03] These are my people

[00:01:09] This is the world I understand

[00:01:17] This is my country

[00:01:22] These are my people

[00:01:27] And I know 'em like the back of my own hand

[00:01:36] We had something to say

[00:01:41] We'd bounce it off the screen

[00:01:45] We were watching and we couldn't

[00:01:49] Look away

[00:01:54] We all know what we look like

[00:01:59] You know what I mean

[00:02:04] We wouldn't have had it any other way

[00:02:12] We got comedy tragedy

[00:02:17] Ev'rything from A to B

[00:02:21] Watching other people living

[00:02:26] Seeing other people play

[00:02:30] Having other people's voices

[00:02:34] Fill our minds

[00:02:37] Thank you Jesus

[00:02:40] Feelings might go unexpressed

[00:02:45] I think that's prob'ly for the best

[00:02:49] Dig too deep who knows what you will find

[00:02:58] This is my country those were my people

[00:03:08] Their's was the world I understand

[00:03:21] Picture a room no window

[00:03:28] A door that leads outside

[00:03:32] A man lying on a blanket on the floor

[00:03:40] Picture his three grown boys behind him

[00:03:45] Bouncing words off of a screen

[00:03:50] Of a television big as all outdoors

[00:03:58] Now your children are your children

[00:04:03] Even when they're grown

[00:04:08] When they speak to you

[00:04:09] You got to listen to

[00:04:11] What they have to say

[00:04:17] But they all live alone now

[00:04:21] They have tv's of their own

[00:04:27] But they keep on coming over anyway

[00:04:36] And much as I love them

[00:04:40] I'm always kind of glad when they go away

[00:04:48] This is my country

[00:04:53] These are my people

[00:04:59] This is the world that I understand

[00:05:06] This is my country

[00:05:11] These are my people

[00:05:16] And I know 'em like the back

[00:05:19] Of my own hand

[00:05:25] I know 'em like the back

[00:05:29] Of my own hand
