《Paradise》歌词

[00:00:00] Paradise - Dwight Yoakam

[00:00:13] When I was a boy my family would travel

[00:00:22] Inta' Western Kentucky where my parents were born

[00:00:32] To a lost little town there that's often remembered

[00:00:42] So many times that my memory drew warn

[00:00:52] And daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County

[00:01:01] Down by the green river where Paradise lay

[00:01:11] He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'

[00:01:20] Mr Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away

[00:01:30] Well sometimes we travel right down the green river

[00:01:40] To the abandoned old prison down by Gadry Hill

[00:01:49] Where the air smelled like snakes an' we'd shoot off pistols

[00:01:58] Oh empty pop bottles is all we would kill

[00:02:08] And daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County

[00:02:17] Down by the green river where paradise lay

[00:02:26] He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'

[00:02:36] Mr Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away

[00:03:21] Welll the coal compny' came with the worlds largest shovel

[00:03:32] They tortured the timber and stripped all of the land

[00:03:40] Lord they dug for their coal till the ground was forsaken

[00:03:50] Then wrote it all down as a the Progress Of Man

[00:03:59] So daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County

[00:04:09] Down by the green river where Paradise lay

[00:04:18] He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'

[00:04:27] Mr Peabodys' coal trains hauled it away

[00:04:36] When I die let my ashes float down the green river

[00:04:45] Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam

[00:04:53] I'll be halfway to heaven with Paradise waitin'

[00:05:03] Just 5 miles away from wherever I am

[00:05:10] Ohhh and daddy won't you take me back to Mulingburg County

[00:05:21] Down by the green river where Paradise lay

[00:05:30] He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'

[00:05:39] Mr Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away

[00:05:47] He said I'm sorry my son but yer too late in askin'

[00:05:58] Mr Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away

[00:06:06] Mr Peabodys' coal train has hauled it away
