《Close to the Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Close to the Land - Michael Martin Murphey

[00:00:30] Way before the sun comes up

[00:00:33] Already on his second cup

[00:00:36] He's looking out across the open sky

[00:00:42] As streaks of orange pink and gray

[00:00:45] Wash over rows of new mown hay

[00:00:48] The rangeland fills a cowboy's heart with pride

[00:00:54] He rises slowly from his chair

[00:00:57] His back is stiff grey's in his hair

[00:01:00] He's spent a lot of lone days in the sun

[00:01:06] He ain't one much to complain

[00:01:09] He saddles up takes the reins

[00:01:12] And rides har till his working day is done

[00:01:17] You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man

[00:01:24] In America's heartland living close to the land

[00:01:30] There's a love for the country

[00:01:32] And a pride in the brand

[00:01:36] In America's heartland living close to the land

[00:01:47] Close to the land

[00:01:54] When the sun is high overhead

[00:01:57] She's been eight hours out of bed

[00:02:00] She's still got a lot of work to do

[00:02:06] Pulling weeds an' patchin' jeans

[00:02:09] And keepin' faith when times are lean

[00:02:12] She does a man's work and a woman's too

[00:02:18] She'll run a tractor water stock

[00:02:21] Fix the truck then feed her flock

[00:02:24] But somehow she gets roses from the ground

[00:02:30] She ain't got a thing to prove

[00:02:33] She simply does what she must do

[00:02:36] From early morning till the sun goes down

[00:02:41] You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man

[00:02:48] In America's heartland living close to the land

[00:02:54] There's a love for the country

[00:02:57] And a pride in the brand

[00:03:00] In America's heartland living close to the land

[00:03:08] In America's heartland close to the land

[00:03:18] There's something that the people know

[00:03:21] Who make things live and make things grow

[00:03:24] Deeper than the words of any sage

[00:03:30] That unless you've touched this earth

[00:03:33] Planted seeds or given birth

[00:03:36] The human heart can never come of age

[00:03:41] You can see it in the eyes of every woman and man

[00:03:47] In America's heartland living close to the land

[00:03:54] There's a love for this country

[00:03:57] And a pride in the brand

[00:04:00] In America's heartland living close

[00:04:07] Close to the land

[00:04:10] In America's heartland close to the land

[00:04:16] In America's heartland close to the land
