《Levelland(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Levelland - James Mcmurtry

[00:00:16] Flatter than a table top

[00:00:19] Makes you wonder why they stopped here

[00:00:23] Wagon must have lost a wheel

[00:00:26] Or they lacked ambition one

[00:00:31] In the great migration west

[00:00:34] Separated from the rest

[00:00:38] Though they might have tried their best

[00:00:41] They never caught the sun

[00:00:44] So they sunk some roots down in this dirt

[00:00:48] To keep from blowin' off the earth

[00:00:52] Built a town right here

[00:00:55] When the dust had all but cleared

[00:00:58] They called it Levelland

[00:01:03] Levelland

[00:01:06] Levelland

[00:01:14] Grand dad grew the dry land wheat

[00:01:18] Stood on his own two feet

[00:01:22] His mind got incomplete

[00:01:24] And they put him in a home

[00:01:29] Daddy's cotton grows so high

[00:01:32] Sucks the water table dry

[00:01:36] His rolling sprinklers circle back

[00:01:39] Bleeding it to the bone

[00:01:42] And I won't be here when it comes the day

[00:01:46] It all dries up and blows away

[00:01:50] I'd hang around just to see

[00:01:53] But they never had much use for me

[00:01:57] In Levelland

[00:02:00] They don't understand me

[00:02:04] In Levelland

[00:02:12] Well I watch those ships trails comin' out that big blue sky

[00:02:20] Coast to coasters watch 'em go

[00:02:26] And I don't blame 'em one damn bit

[00:02:30] If they never look down on this

[00:02:34] Ain't much down here they'd want to know

[00:02:40] Just Levelland

[00:02:44] You could wash your hands

[00:02:47] In nothin' but Levelland

[00:03:26] Mama used to roll her hair

[00:03:29] Back before the central air

[00:03:33] We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night

[00:03:40] She tell me to make a wish

[00:03:44] I'd wish we both could fly

[00:03:47] I don't think she's seen the sky

[00:03:51] Since we got the satellite dish

[00:03:55] I can hear the marching band

[00:03:58] Doing the best they can to play

[00:04:02] Smoke on the water

[00:04:05] And joy to the world

[00:04:09] I payed up all my debts

[00:04:12] Got some change left over yet

[00:04:16] I'm getting on a whisper jet

[00:04:19] Going to fly as far as I can get

[00:04:23] From Levelland

[00:04:26] Done the best I can

[00:04:29] In Levelland
