《Rough on the Living》歌词

[00:00:00] Rough on the Living - Bobby Bare

[00:00:03] I wanna sing this song for a friend of ours

[00:00:11] His picture was in all the papers

[00:00:16] They said that a legend had passed

[00:00:21] The late evening news did a special report

[00:00:26] And swore that his memory would last

[00:00:31] They're playing his records all weekend

[00:00:36] Praising the life that he lived

[00:00:40] Nashville is rough on the living

[00:00:45] But she really speaks well of the dead

[00:00:52] The wife that they interviewed cried

[00:00:57] Is the same one who left him last fall

[00:01:01] And the record producer who called him a hero

[00:01:06] Is the one who wouldn't answer his calls

[00:01:11] The ladies they sit over coffee

[00:01:16] Bragging about sharing his bed

[00:01:21] They didn't want him around when he's living

[00:01:25] But he's sure a good friend when he's dead

[00:01:33] They observed twenty seconds of silence

[00:01:37] At the Opry on Saturday night

[00:01:42] And they're searching the bars and the basements

[00:01:47] For some souvenir of his life

[00:01:52] They're planning a book for September

[00:01:57] Showing his plain country roots

[00:02:01] Any they're selling the rights to the movie

[00:02:06] And the Hall of Fame's getting his boots

[00:02:11] At the funeral somebody recited a poem

[00:02:16] That told how he suffered and bled

[00:02:21] Nashville is rough on the living

[00:02:25] But she really speaks well of the dead

[00:02:30] Yeah Nashville is rough on the living

[00:02:34] But she really speaks well of the dead
