《The Great Compromise(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Compromise (LP版) - John Prine
[00:00:10] I knew a girl who was almost a lady
[00:00:15] She had a way with all the men in her life
[00:00:20] Every inch of her blossomed in beauty
[00:00:25] And she was born on the fourth of July
[00:00:33] Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer
[00:00:38] And she worked in a juke box saloon
[00:00:43] And she spent all the money I give her
[00:00:48] Just to see the old man in the moon
[00:00:53] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory
[00:00:58] And awake in the dawn's early light
[00:01:03] But much to my surprise
[00:01:06] When I opened my eyes
[00:01:08] I was a victim of the great compromise
[00:01:19] Well we'd go out on Saturday evenings
[00:01:24] To the drive in on route 41
[00:01:29] And it was there that I first suspected
[00:01:34] That she was doin' what she'd already done
[00:01:42] She said johnny won't you get me some popcorn
[00:01:47] And she knew I had to walk pretty far
[00:01:52] And as soon as I passed through the moonlight
[00:01:57] She hopped into a foreign sports car
[00:02:03] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory
[00:02:08] And awake in the dawn's early light
[00:02:13] But much to my surprise
[00:02:15] When I opened my eyes
[00:02:18] I was a victim of the great compromise
[00:02:31] Well you know I could have beat up that fellow
[00:02:37] But it was her that had hopped into his car
[00:02:42] Many times I'd fought to protect her
[00:02:47] But this time she was goin' too far
[00:02:55] Now some folks they call me a coward
[00:03:00] 'Cause I left her at the drive in that night
[00:03:05] But I'd druthers have names thrown at me
[00:03:10] Than to fight for a thing that ain't right
[00:03:15] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory
[00:03:21] And awake in the dawn's early light
[00:03:26] But much to my surprise
[00:03:28] When I opened my eyes
[00:03:31] I was a victim of the great compromise
[00:03:44] Now she writes all the fellows love letters
[00:03:49] Saying greetings come and see me real soon
[00:03:54] And they go and line up in the barroom
[00:04:00] And spend the night in that sick woman's room
[00:04:08] But sometimes I get awful lonesome
[00:04:13] And I wish she was my girl instead
[00:04:18] But she won't let me live with
[00:04:23] And she makes me live in my head
[00:04:28] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory
[00:04:33] And awake in the dawn's early light
[00:04:38] But much to my surprise
[00:04:41] When I opened my eyes
[00:04:43] I was a victim of the great compromise
