《Ten Degrees and Getting Colder》歌词

[00:00:00] Ten Degrees and Getting Colder - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:07] He was standing by the highway

[00:00:10] With a sign that just said mother

[00:00:12] When he heard a driver coming

[00:00:15] About a half a mile away

[00:00:17] So he held the sign up higher

[00:00:20] Where no decent soul could miss it

[00:00:22] It was ten degrees or colder

[00:00:25] Down by boulder dam that day

[00:00:29] He was raised up in milwaukee

[00:00:31] Though he never was that famous

[00:00:34] He was just a road musician

[00:00:36] To the taverns he would go

[00:00:39] Singing songs about the ramblin'

[00:00:42] The lovin' girls and gamblin'

[00:00:44] How the world fell on his shoulders

[00:00:46] Back in boulder I don't know

[00:00:51] And she told him she would take him

[00:00:56] For a ride in the morning sun

[00:01:01] Back in boulder he had told her

[00:01:06] I don't know when I've had a better friend

[00:01:14] It was out in arizona

[00:01:16] That he heard the lady listening

[00:01:19] To each word that he was saying

[00:01:21] To each line that he would write

[00:01:24] So he sat down at her table

[00:01:26] And they talked about the weather

[00:01:29] 98 6 and rising down by boulder dam that night

[00:01:37] And she told him she would take him

[00:01:41] For a ride in the morning sun

[00:01:47] Back in boulder he had told her

[00:01:51] I don't know when I've had a better friend

[00:01:59] Now he's traded off his martin

[00:02:02] Though his troubles ain't over

[00:02:04] His feet are almost frozen and the sun is sinking

[00:02:09] Low

[00:02:10] Won't you listen to me brother if you ever loved

[00:02:13] Your mother

[00:02:14] I want to pull off on the shoulder

[00:02:17] If you're goin' milwaukee

[00:02:19] Way

[00:02:19] It's ten degrees and getting colder down by boulder dam

[00:02:23] Today
