《Our Song》歌词

[00:00:01] Our Song - Joe Henry

[00:00:21] I saw Willie Mays

[00:00:24] At a Scottsdale home depot

[00:00:29] Looking at garage door springs

[00:00:33] At the far end of the fourteenth row

[00:00:39] His wife stood there beside him

[00:00:43] She was quiet and they both were proud

[00:00:47] I gave them room but was close enough

[00:00:51] That I heard him when he said out loud

[00:00:59] This was my country

[00:01:03] This was my song

[00:01:06] Somewhere in the middle there

[00:01:09] Though it started badly and it's ending wrong

[00:01:17] This was my country

[00:01:20] This frightful and this angry land

[00:01:25] But it's my right if the worst of it might

[00:01:28] Still somehow make me a better man

[00:01:44] The sun is unforgiving and

[00:01:47] There's nobody who would choose this town

[00:01:52] But we've squandered so much of our good will

[00:01:56] That there's nowhere else will have us now

[00:02:03] We push in line at the picture show

[00:02:07] For cool air and a chance to see

[00:02:11] A vision of ourselves portrayed as

[00:02:15] Younger and braver and humble and free

[00:02:23] This was our country

[00:02:27] This was our song

[00:02:30] Somewhere in the middle there

[00:02:33] Though it started badly and it's ending wrong

[00:02:41] This was our country

[00:02:44] This frightful and this angry land

[00:02:48] But it's my right if the worst of it might

[00:02:52] Still somehow make me a better man

[00:03:17] I've started something I can't finish

[00:03:20] And I barely leave the house it's true

[00:03:25] I keep her out on my sores and joints

[00:03:29] But I've guess I've had my blessings too

[00:03:35] I've got my mother's pretty feet

[00:03:38] And a factory keeps my house in shade

[00:03:44] My children they've both been paroled

[00:03:47] And we get back all the peace we've made

[00:03:54] I feel safe so far from heaven

[00:03:57] From towers and their ocean views

[00:04:02] From here I see the future coming

[00:04:05] Across what soon will be beaches too

[00:04:12] But that was him I'm almost sure

[00:04:16] The greatest center fielder of all time

[00:04:20] Stooped by the burden of endless dreams

[00:04:25] His and yours and mine

[00:04:30] He hooked each spring beneath his feet

[00:04:34] He leaned over then he stood upright

[00:04:39] Testing each against his weight

[00:04:43] For one that had some play and some fight

[00:04:49] He's just like us I want to tell him

[00:04:53] And our needs are small enough

[00:04:57] Something to slow our heavy door

[00:05:01] Something to help us raise one up

[00:05:08] This was my country

[00:05:13] This was my song

[00:05:16] Somewhere in the middle there

[00:05:19] Though it started badly and it's ending wrong

[00:05:27] This was god's country

[00:05:30] This frightful and this angry land

[00:05:34] But if it's his will the worst of it might

[00:05:38] Still somehow make me a better man

[00:05:52] If it's his will the worst of it might

[00:05:56] Still somehow make me a better man
