《To Beat the Devil(Live at the Big Sur Folk Festival)》歌词

[00:00:00] To Beat The Devil - Kris Kristofferson
[00:00:06] [Voice: It was winter time in Nashville down on music city row
[00:00:52] And I was looking for a place to get myself out of the cold to warm
[00:00:57] The frozen feeling that was eating at my soul and keep the chilly
[00:01:04] Wind off my guitar; my thirsty wanted whiskey my hungry needed
[00:01:10] Beans; but it'd been a month of pay days since I'd heard that eagle
[00:01:17] Scream; so with a stomach full of empty and pocket full of dreams
[00:01:23] I left my pride and stepped inside a bar (actually I guess you'd
[00:01:28] Call it a tavern) Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and sawdust on the
[00:01:33] Floor
[00:01:36] Friendly shadows I saw that there was just one old man sitting
[00:01:45] At the bar; and in the mirror I could see him checking me with my
[00:01:50] Guitar; he turned and said "come up here boy and show us what you
[00:01:56] Are" I said "I'm dry" and he bought me a beer He nodded at my
[00:02:03] Guitar and said "It's a tough life ain't it " I just looked at him
[00:02:09] And he said "You ain't making any money are you " I said "You've
[00:02:14] Been reading my mail" He just smiled and said "Let me see that
[00:02:17] Guitar: I got something you ought to hear" Then he laid
[00:02:21] It on me
[00:02:22] If you waste your time a-talking to the people who don't listen
[00:02:28] To the things that you are saying who do you think's going to hear
[00:02:34] And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about
[00:02:39] Are things they could be changing who d'you think's goin' to care
[00:02:45] There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind who
[00:02:51] Were crucified for what they tried to show
[00:02:55] And their voices have been scattered by the swirling winds of time
[00:03:00] 'Cause the truth remains that no-one wants to know
[00:03:08] [Voice: Well the old man was a stranger but I'd heard his song before;
[00:03:13] Back when failure had me locked out on the wrong side of the door; when
[00:03:19] No-one stood behind me but my shadow on the floor and lonesome was more
[00:03:24] Than a state of mind You see the devil haunts a hungry man; if you
[00:03:33] Don't want to join him you've got to beat him I ain't sayin' I beat the
[00:03:40] Devil but I drank his beer for nothing and then I stole his song
[00:03:51] And you still can hear me singing to the people who don't listen
[00:03:56] To the things that I am saying praying someone's going to hear;
[00:04:02] And I guess I'll die explaining how the things that they complain about
[00:04:07] Are things they could be changing hoping someone's goin' to care
[00:04:12] I was born a lonely singer and I'm bound to die the same
[00:04:16] But I've got to feed the hunger in my soul;
[00:04:23] And if I never have a nickel I won't ever die of shame
[00:04:27] 'Cause I don't believe that no-one wants to know
