《The Dreamer》歌词

[00:00:02] San Angelo - Marty Robbins

[00:00:03] Written by：M. Robbins

[00:00:11] When I was a young man beginnin' my teens

[00:00:18] How well I remember the licking's I'd get 'cause I'd dream

[00:00:28] My work never finished barely begun

[00:00:35] I couldn't get started till all of my dreaming was done

[00:00:45] I wouldn't shuck cotton I wouldn't chop wood

[00:00:52] And then pa would whip me and say that's for being no good

[00:01:02] But I kept chasin' rainbows finally I found

[00:01:09] The great open range and the hills were my best dreaming ground

[00:01:19] When I left the home place our mother did cry

[00:01:26] She begged me to stay there and not say goodbye

[00:01:33] My pa told my mother your tears are in vain

[00:01:40] Your son is a dreamer and the winds call his name

[00:01:49] So don't try to stop him let him move on

[00:01:56] 'Cause he won't stop his drifting

[00:01:59] Till all of his dreaming is gone

[00:02:09] Last night in a campfire a face I did see

[00:02:17] A vision of mother she seemed to be calling to me

[00:02:27] For seventeen years now I've drifted alone

[00:02:34] But I wanna see mother tomorrow I start drifting home

[00:02:44] The last hill I've climbed now and what do I see

[00:02:51] An old run down shack where the ranch used to be

[00:02:58] Then I see a tombstone and then see one more

[00:03:05] I drifted too long from the old ranch house door

[00:03:14] There's nothing more left now but drifting it seems

[00:03:21] But I hope I can dream of the lickin's I'd get

[00:03:27] 'Cause I'd dream
