《Texas Lullaby(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Texas Lullaby - The Doobie Brothers

[00:00:13] Tom Johnston

[00:00:14] Sittin' by myself in the summertime when the heat is burnin' down

[00:00:17] Watchin' the golden crops in the field just growin' without a sound

[00:00:23] I was a boy raised in the country and it's still a part of me

[00:00:28] And you see no matter where I go it's a beautiful memory

[00:00:34] Rise with sun at the break of day lookin' out my window

[00:00:42] It's the same as yesterday

[00:00:45] Sittin' under an old oak tree pickin' my guitar in the shade

[00:00:51] That old tree spreadin' over my head is the closest friend I made

[00:00:56] Just me and some lonely wooden music floatin' through air

[00:01:02] The grass is rustlin' and the birds are singin' and my heart don't have a care

[00:01:08] Still another day finds me in the fields sweat is soakin' up my ragged clothes

[00:01:14] But I'd rather work than steal

[00:01:21] Watchin' the sun settle down over open Texas land looking at the cattle and the horses runnin' wild as they can

[00:01:30] Life was different in the old days you just get a day's work done

[00:01:36] When you were finished workin' in the fields there was chores at home to be done

[00:01:41] I was always hearin' music always wanna play me some

[00:01:44] As a fulltime friend or the way to ease the end of a woman that swayed me some

[00:02:03] Hearin' those tunes always had a way of soothin' out my soul

[00:02:07] When times got hard and work got slow it was music that kept me whole

[00:02:14] Sun beatin' down through the trees gets so hot bring a workin' man to his knees

[00:02:26] Part of my heart part of my soul part of a melody

[00:02:31] Hands are clappin' and people swayin' in simple harmony

[00:02:37] Life was different in the old days you just get a day's work done

[00:02:42] When you finished workin' in the fields there was chores at home to be done

[00:02:48] Late in the evenin' on the front porch when the sun is settin' in the west

[00:03:21] Me and the boys pass around the bottle and sing what we like best

[00:03:26] Sing about our wives sing about our children singin' out the Delta blues

[00:03:37] We're simple folks and we like it that way got nothin' left to lose
