《Iron Road》歌词

[00:00:00] Iron Road - Old 97's/Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)

[00:00:13] Hundred lists of reasons I keep around

[00:00:18] Why I never had a family

[00:00:20] Why I never settle down

[00:00:22] Why I'd sooner in the mirror see a hobo looking low

[00:00:28] But the reasons now escape me as I walk the iron road

[00:00:34] Like a lot of kids I left my boyhood home

[00:00:39] Worked a little on the railroad

[00:00:42] Worked a little traveling on

[00:00:45] Till the closest that I ever got

[00:00:47] To an address or a phone

[00:00:50] Was the day I spent my last two bits

[00:00:52] On a one page letter home

[00:00:56] At 21 my arches lay down flat

[00:01:02] 22 I started taking loans

[00:01:07] But if the train will come

[00:01:08] I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones

[00:01:12] I'll curse the wheels that roll me

[00:01:14] Roll me down that iron road

[00:01:39] Iron road iron road you'll never give up the gold

[00:01:49] I spent 24 hours today looking back and feeling low

[00:01:55] 24 hours of looking back can kill you I've been told

[00:02:01] At 60 my dad left that boyhood town

[00:02:07] Within a year my mother followed him to higher ground

[00:02:12] I'll be the next to join them soon

[00:02:14] As I see that engine roll

[00:02:21] Gonna lay my head on the railroad bed

[00:02:24] And leave that iron road

[00:02:27] Gonna lay my head on the railroad bed

[00:02:29] And leave that iron road

[00:02:33] At 21 my arches lay down flat

[00:02:39] 22 I started taking loans

[00:02:44] But if the train will come

[00:02:45] I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones

[00:02:49] I'll curse the wheels that roll me

[00:02:51] Roll me down that iron road

[00:02:56] I'll curse the wheels that roll me

[00:03:01] Roll me down that iron road
