《Whenever Kindness Fails(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Whenever Kindness Fails (Album Version) - Joe Ely

[00:00:17] Crossed the desert in a dinin' car

[00:00:21] In the spring of '91

[00:00:24] Met some people drinkin' at the bar

[00:00:28] They were laughin' havin' fun

[00:00:32] I told 'em that I hadn't heard the joke

[00:00:36] That was so hilarious

[00:00:39] They said that I was just a dumb cowpoke

[00:00:43] I didn't want to make a fuss

[00:00:46] So I shot them down one by one

[00:00:51] I left them 'long the rails

[00:00:54] I only use my gun

[00:00:56] Whenever kindness fails

[00:01:11] The moon was in the sign of Scorpio

[00:01:15] The sun was at my back

[00:01:18] I didn't know how far the train would go

[00:01:22] Until the law would find my track

[00:01:26] I saw the brakeman and the engineer

[00:01:30] Drinkin' wine and eatin' brie

[00:01:34] I asked them who would brake and who would steer

[00:01:37] They started pointin' back at me

[00:01:40] So I shot them down one by one

[00:01:45] I left them 'long the rails

[00:01:48] I only use my gun

[00:01:50] Whenever kindness fails

[00:02:20] I only have a moment to explain

[00:02:24] Just a chance to let you know

[00:02:28] When it's time for you to board the train

[00:02:32] There are two ways you can go

[00:02:35] You can ride the winds into the sun

[00:02:39] Feel a cool wind on your face

[00:02:43] Or you can laugh into a loaded gun

[00:02:47] And you'll likely lose your place

[00:02:50] Yeah I shot them down one by one

[00:02:54] I left them 'long the rails

[00:02:57] I only use my gun

[00:02:59] Whenever kindness fails

[00:03:05] Yeah I shot them down one by one

[00:03:09] I left them 'long the rails

[00:03:13] When I use my gun

[00:03:15] That lonesome whistle wails
