《In My Next Life》歌词

[00:00:00] In My Next Life - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:14] The blood red sun beat down and baked the red clay ground

[00:00:21] Dust kicked up around his John Deere wheels

[00:00:27] No trace of rain in sight again he'll lose the fight

[00:00:34] And have to watch his crops die in the fields

[00:00:42] They stood there both in tears his wife of many years

[00:00:48] Said John "You know I hate to lose our farm"

[00:00:55] He looked into her eyes then looked up at the skies

[00:01:02] And told her as he held her in his arms

[00:01:08] "In my next life I want to be your hero

[00:01:15] Somethin' better than I turned out to be

[00:01:22] I've lived this life behind the plough and harrow

[00:01:29] In my next life I'll make you proud of me"

[00:01:43] The muscles in his arms just like his run down farm

[00:01:50] Soon withered up and slowly disappeared

[00:01:58] One hard workin' man two hard workin' hands

[00:02:04] Were givin' up after all these years

[00:02:12] His aging eyes grew dim and the lady that worshiped him

[00:02:18] Sat cryin' on a chair beside his bed

[00:02:25] Her hands caressed his brow and she said it's alright now

[00:02:32] And as he slowly slipped away he said

[00:02:38] "In my next life I want to be your hero

[00:02:45] Somethin' better than I turned out to be

[00:02:52] I've lived this life behind the plough and harrow

[00:02:59] In my next life I'll make you proud of me"

[00:03:06] "In my next life I want to be your hero

[00:03:13] Somethin' better than I turned out to be

[00:03:20] I've lived this life behind the plough and harrow

[00:03:27] In my next life I'll make you proud of me

[00:03:34] In my next life I'll make you proud of me"
