《Bronco Bill’s Lament(Live/1973)》歌词

[00:00:00] Bronco Bill's Lament

[00:00:00] I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be

[00:00:05] But a cowboy's life was the only life for me

[00:00:10] It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free

[00:00:16] But strong men often fail

[00:00:19] Where shrewd men can prevail

[00:00:22] I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say

[00:00:27] But oh god how I worked my youth away

[00:00:33] Well you may not recognize my face I used to be a star

[00:00:39] A cowboy hero known both near and far

[00:00:43] I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar

[00:00:49] But the studio of course

[00:00:51] Owned my saddle and my horse

[00:00:54] But that six gun on the wall belongs to me

[00:00:59] Oh god I can't live a memory

[00:01:05] You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again

[00:01:10] And point that gun at all the prideful men

[00:01:15] All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen

[00:01:21] And put you where they choose

[00:01:24] With the language that they use

[00:01:27] And enslave you till you work your youth away

[00:01:32] Oh god how I worked my youth away

[00:01:37] Whoopee ty yioh

[00:01:39] Whoopee ty yi ay

[00:01:42] One man's work is another man's play

[00:01:47] Oh God how I worked my youth away

[00:01:53] You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime

[00:01:59] This photograph was taken in my prime

[00:02:04] I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time

[00:02:09] But the singin' was a ball

[00:02:12] 'Cause I'm not musical at all

[00:02:14] I moved my lips to someone else's voice

[00:02:29] I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be

[00:02:34] But a cowboy's life was the only life for me

[00:02:38] It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free

[00:02:44] But strong men often fail

[00:02:47] Where shrewd men can prevail

[00:02:50] I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say

[00:02:54] But oh god how I worked my youth away
