《The Spinning Mills of Home》歌词

[00:00:00] The Spinning Mills of Home - Art Thieme

[00:00:06] Early Monday morning

[00:00:08] I keep thinking that I'm late for work

[00:00:11] Why didn't someone wake me

[00:00:14] Guess the mills are down again

[00:00:16] For years I've been trying

[00:00:18] To raise my kids on cardroom wages

[00:00:21] It's time to hit the road

[00:00:24] Try my luck up north again

[00:00:27] On the highway headed south

[00:00:29] On the highway headed north

[00:00:32] Back and forth

[00:00:33] Sometimes I feel like a rolling stone

[00:00:38] From the rolling mills of Gary

[00:00:40] To the rolling hills

[00:00:42] And the spinning mills of home

[00:00:49] All along the river

[00:00:51] Railroad tracks turn red and rusty

[00:00:54] Cotton fields are dry and dusty

[00:00:57] You can taste it in your mouth

[00:00:59] Well I've heard people say

[00:01:02] How they got one foot in the grave

[00:01:05] I got one in Indiana

[00:01:07] And the other one's in the south

[00:01:10] On the highway headed south

[00:01:13] On the highway headed north

[00:01:15] Back and forth

[00:01:16] Sometimes I feel like a rolling stone

[00:01:21] From the rolling mills of Gary

[00:01:23] To the rolling hills

[00:01:25] And the spinning mills of home

[00:01:32] I wish someone would write it down

[00:01:34] That way someone that knows the work

[00:01:37] Can gauge the labor

[00:01:38] Have it bought and sold

[00:01:40] Like cotton by the pound

[00:01:42] It's just too hard to choose between

[00:01:45] A job back home for lousy pay

[00:01:48] And makin' real good wages

[00:01:50] In some northern factory town

[00:01:53] On the highway headed south

[00:01:56] On the highway headed north

[00:01:58] Just back and forth

[00:01:59] Sometimes I feel like a rolling stone

[00:02:04] From the rolling mills of Gary

[00:02:06] To the rolling hills

[00:02:08] And the spinning mills of home
