《Sam Stone》歌词

[00:00:00] Sam Stone - Al Kooper

[00:00:15] Sam Stone came home to his wife and family

[00:00:22] After serving in the conflict overseas

[00:00:29] Now in the time that he had served

[00:00:33] It had shattered all his nerves

[00:00:37] And it left a little shrapnel in his knee

[00:00:44] But the morphine eased the pain

[00:00:48] And the grass grew round his brain

[00:00:52] And it gave him all the confidence he lacked

[00:00:59] With a purple heart and a monkey on his back

[00:01:06] There's a hole in daddy's arm

[00:01:10] Where all the money goes

[00:01:15] Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[00:01:21] Now little pitchers have big ears

[00:01:25] But don't just stop to count the years

[00:01:30] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

[00:01:40] Sam Stone's welcome home

[00:01:44] Didn't last too long

[00:01:48] No he went to work after he spread his last dime

[00:01:55] And then Sammy

[00:01:57] Took to stealing

[00:01:59] When he get that empty feeling

[00:02:03] For a hundred dollar habit without overtime

[00:02:10] And the cold rolled through his veins

[00:02:14] Like a thousand railroad trains

[00:02:17] And it eased his mind in the hours

[00:02:21] That he chose

[00:02:25] While the kids ran around

[00:02:26] Wearin' other peoples' clothes

[00:02:32] There's a hole in daddy's arm

[00:02:36] Where all the money goes

[00:02:40] Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[00:02:47] Now little pitchers have big ears

[00:02:51] But don't just stop to count the years

[00:02:55] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

[00:03:06] Sam Stone was alone

[00:03:09] When he popped his last balloon

[00:03:14] Climbing walls while sit there in a chair

[00:03:21] He played his last request

[00:03:24] While the room stormed just like death

[00:03:28] With an overdose just hovering in the air

[00:03:35] But life had lost dollar it's fun

[00:03:39] And now there's nothing to be done

[00:03:43] But to trade his home that he bought on the G I Bill

[00:03:48] For what

[00:03:50] A flag draped casket on some local heroes' hill

[00:03:57] There's a hole in daddy's arm

[00:04:01] Where all the money goes

[00:04:06] Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[00:04:12] Little pitchers have big ears

[00:04:16] But don't just stop to count the years

[00:04:20] Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
