《Sam Stone(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sam Stone (LP版) - John Prine

[00:00:03] Sam stone came home to his wife and family

[00:00:10] After serving in the conflict overseas

[00:00:17] And the time that he served

[00:00:20] Had shattered all his nerves

[00:00:24] And left a little shrapnel in his knee

[00:00:31] But the M******e eased the pain

[00:00:35] And the grass grew round his brain

[00:00:39] And gave him all the confidence he lacked

[00:00:45] With a purple heart and a monkey on his back

[00:00:53] There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

[00:01:01] Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose

[00:01:07] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:01:10] Don't stop to count the years

[00:01:14] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

[00:01:25] Sam stone's welcome home didn't last too long

[00:01:33] He went to work when he'd spent his last dime

[00:01:39] And Sammy took to stealing

[00:01:43] When he got that empty feeling

[00:01:46] For a hundred dollar habit without overtime

[00:01:54] And the gold rolled through his veins

[00:01:57] Like a thousand railroad trains

[00:02:01] And eased his mind in the hours that he chose

[00:02:08] While the kids ran around wearing other peoples' clothes

[00:02:15] There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

[00:02:24] Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose

[00:02:30] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:02:33] Don't stop to count the years

[00:02:37] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

[00:02:48] Sam stone was alone when he popped his last balloon

[00:02:56] Climbing walls while sitting in a chair

[00:03:02] Well he played his last request

[00:03:06] While the room smelled just like death

[00:03:09] With an overdose hovering in the air

[00:03:17] But life had lost its fun

[00:03:20] And there was nothing to be done

[00:03:24] But trade his house that he bought on the G I bill

[00:03:31] For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill

[00:03:38] There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes

[00:03:47] Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose

[00:03:53] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:03:56] Don't stop to count the years

[00:04:00] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
