《Smuggler’s Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Smuggler's Blues - The Alabama Blues Project

[00:00:15] There's trouble on the streets tonight,

[00:00:17] I can feel it in my bones.

[00:00:19] I had a premonition,

[00:00:20] That he should not go alone.

[00:00:23] I knew the gun was loaded,

[00:00:25] But I didn't think he'd kill.

[00:00:26] Everything exploded,

[00:00:28] And the blood began to spill.

[00:00:30] So baby, here's your ticket,

[00:00:32] Put the suitcase in your hand.

[00:00:34] Here's a little money now,

[00:00:36] Do it just the way we planned.

[00:00:38] You be cool for twenty hours

[00:00:40] And I'll pay you twenty grand.

[00:00:46] I'm sorry it went down like this,

[00:00:48] And someone had to lose,

[00:00:49] It's the nature of the business,

[00:00:51] It's the smuggler's blues.

[00:00:57] Smuggler's blues

[00:01:01] The sailors and pilots,

[00:01:03] The soldiers and the law,

[00:01:05] The pay offs and the rip offs,

[00:01:07] And the things nobody saw.

[00:01:09] No matter if it's heroin, coc*ine, or hash,

[00:01:13] You've got to carry weapons

[00:01:14] 'Cause you always carry cash.

[00:01:16] There's lots of shady characters,

[00:01:18] Lots of dirty deals.

[00:01:20] Ev'ry name's an alias

[00:01:22] In case somebody squeals.

[00:01:24] It's the lure of easy money,

[00:01:26] It's gotta very strong appeal.

[00:01:32] Perhaps you'd understand it better

[00:01:34] Standin' in my shoes,

[00:01:36] It's the ultimate enticement,

[00:01:38] It's the smuggler's blues,

[00:01:43] Smuggler's blues.

[00:02:26] See it in the headlines,

[00:02:27] You hear it ev'ry day.

[00:02:29] They say they're gonna stop it,

[00:02:31] But it doesn't go away.

[00:02:33] They move it through miami, sell it in l.a.,

[00:02:37] They hide it up in telluride,

[00:02:39] I mean it's here to stay.

[00:02:41] It's propping up the governments in columbia and peru,

[00:02:45] You ask any d.e.a. man,

[00:02:47] He'll say there's nothin' we can do,

[00:02:49] From the office of the president,

[00:02:50] Right down to me and you, me and you.

[00:02:57] It's a losing proposition,

[00:02:58] But one you can't refuse.

[00:03:00] It's the politics of contraband,

[00:03:02] It's the smuggler's blues,

[00:03:07] Smuggler's blues.
