《Casey’s Last Ride》歌词

[00:00:01] Casey's Last Ride - Willie Nelson

[00:00:14] Casey joins the hollow sound of silent

[00:00:18] People walking down

[00:00:20] The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below

[00:00:27] Following their footsteps

[00:00:29] Through the neon-darkened corridors

[00:00:33] Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul

[00:00:43] The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying

[00:00:50] 'Cos it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain

[00:00:57] But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes

[00:01:03] Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains

[00:01:16] "Oh " she said: "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you

[00:01:26] "Here " she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile

[00:01:36] "See " she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you

[00:01:46] "Lord " she said "Casey can you only stay a while "

[00:02:09] Casey leaves the underground

[00:02:12] And stops inside The Golden Crown

[00:02:15] For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones

[00:02:22] Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men

[00:02:28] Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home

[00:02:39] Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter

[00:02:45] Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by

[00:02:53] Then he stumbles as he's leaving

[00:02:56] And he wonders if the reason

[00:02:59] Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye

[00:03:13] "Oh " she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me

[00:03:23] "Now " she said: "now that you've a family of your own

[00:03:33] "Still " she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body

[00:03:43] "Lord " she said: "Casey it's a shame to be alone
