《Georgie on the freeways(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Georgie on the freeways (LP版) - Tom Paxton

[00:00:07] The summer sun was beating down

[00:00:09] Oh pity would it show

[00:00:13] George Chester's office air conditioner

[00:00:16] Would no longer go

[00:00:19] As pools of sweat rolled off his brow

[00:00:23] He had one reverie

[00:00:26] He saw himself with his wife and kids

[00:00:29] In his cottage by the sea

[00:00:33] He paid for his car at the parking lot

[00:00:36] Which gave the poor man chills

[00:00:39] The attendant laughed and walked away

[00:00:43] Thumbing a roll of bills

[00:00:46] He started his engine with trembling hands

[00:00:50] At the end of a long hard day

[00:00:53] And placing himself in the hands of God

[00:00:57] He drove to the long freeway

[00:01:07] The traffic stretched far as the eye can see

[00:01:10] As bumper to bumper they sped

[00:01:13] They drove at supernatural speeds

[00:01:17] Which filled his heart with dread

[00:01:20] Sometimes they stopped for an hour or more

[00:01:24] And a thousand horns would blow

[00:01:27] George Chester's eyes rolled back in his head

[00:01:30] And his poor brain started to go

[00:01:34] He came at last to the turnpike gate

[00:01:37] And he laid his money down

[00:01:41] He took the fist turn to the right

[00:01:44] And he followed the curve around

[00:01:47] He took each bend of the clover leaf

[00:01:51] He followed every sign

[00:01:54] And when he came back to the same toll gate

[00:01:58] He gave them another dime

[00:02:08] His hands were tight on the steering wheel

[00:02:11] His lips and throat were dry

[00:02:15] He swore by all that he held dear

[00:02:18] He'd make it through or die

[00:02:22] He took the first turn to the right

[00:02:25] The clover leaf to go through

[00:02:28] He was quite sure of his success

[00:02:32] Till the toll gate rose in view

[00:02:35] And now they say when the moon is full

[00:02:39] And the clover leaf is still

[00:02:42] The sound of an engine can be heard

[00:02:46] Laboring up the hill

[00:02:49] A dime drops in the toll machine

[00:02:53] In the cool of a summer's night

[00:02:56] And eternally that poor car

[00:03:00] Takes the first turn to the right
