《To Beat The Devil》歌词

[00:00:00] To Beat The Devil (击败魔鬼) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
[00:00:11] It was winter time in Nashville down on Music Row
[00:00:16] And I was lookin' for a place to get myself out of the cold
[00:00:21] To warm the frozen feelin' that was eatin' at my soul
[00:00:26] And keep the chilly wind off me and my guitar
[00:00:31] Well my thirsty wanted whiskey and my hungry needed beans
[00:00:36] But it had been a month of payday since I heard that eagle scream
[00:00:41] So with a stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams
[00:00:46] I left my pride and stepped inside a bar
[00:00:53] Actually I guess you'd call it a tavern
[00:00:56] Cigarette smoke to the ceiling sawdust on the floor friendly shadows
[00:01:04] Well I saw that there was just an old man that was sittin' at the bar
[00:01:09] And in the mirror I could see him checkin' me and my guitar
[00:01:14] And he turned and he said come up here boy and show us what you are
[00:01:19] I said I'm dry he bought me a beer
[00:01:24] Then he nodded at my guitar and he said it's a tough life ain't it
[00:01:29] I just looked at him and he said you ain't making any money are you
[00:01:34] I said you been readin' my mail
[00:01:37] He just smiled and said let me see that guitar
[00:01:40] I got somethin' you ought to hear then he laid it on my ear
[00:01:45] If you waste your time a talkin' to the people
[00:01:49] Who don't listen to the things that you are saying
[00:01:52] Who do you thinks gonna hear
[00:01:55] And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about
[00:02:00] Or the things they could be changing who do you thinks gonna care
[00:02:06] There were other lonely singers and the world turned deaf and blind
[00:02:11] Who were crucified for what they tried to show
[00:02:16] And their voices have been scattered by the swirling winds of time
[00:02:21] For the truth remains that no one wants to know
[00:02:26] Well the old man was a stranger but I'd have heard his song before
[00:02:31] Back when failure had me locked out on the wrong side of the door
[00:02:36] When no one stood behind me but my shadow on the floor
[00:02:42] And lonesome was more than a state of mind
[00:02:46] You see a devil haunts a hungry man
[00:02:52] And if you don't wanna join him well you gotta beat him
[00:02:56] I ain't sayin' I beat the devil but I drink his beer for nothin'
[00:03:03] And then I stole his song
[00:03:06] And you still can hear me singin' to the people who don't listen
[00:03:11] To the things that I am sayin' prayin' someone's gonna hear
[00:03:15] And I guess I'll die explaining how the things that they complain about
[00:03:21] Are things they could be changing hoping someone's gonna care
[00:03:26] I was born a lonely singer and I'm bound to die the same
[00:03:32] But I've gotta feed the hunger in my soul
[00:03:38] And if I never have a nickel I won't ever die in shame
[00:03:42] 'Cause I don't believe that no one wants to know
