《The Great Compromise》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Compromise - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[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] 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 that I give her

[00:00:49] Just to see the old man in the moon

[00:00:54] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory

[00:00:59] And awake in the dawn's early light

[00:01:04] But much to my surprise

[00:01:07] When I opened my eyes

[00:01:09] I was a victim of the great compromise

[00:01:20] Well we'd go out on saturday evenings

[00:01:25] To the driving on route 41

[00:01:30] And it was there that I first suspected

[00:01:35] That she was doing what she'd already done

[00:01:43] She said johnny won't you get me some popcorn

[00:01:48] And she knew I had to walk pretty far

[00:01:53] And as soon as I passed through the moonlight

[00:01:58] She hopped into a foreign sports car

[00:02:04] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory

[00:02:09] And awake in the dawn's early light

[00:02:14] But much to my surprise when I opened my eyes

[00:02:19] I was a victim of the great compromise

[00:02:32] Well you know I could have beat up that fellow

[00:02:37] But it was her that had hopped into his car

[00:02:43] And many times I'd fought to protect her

[00:02:48] But this time she was goin' too far

[00:02:56] Now some folks they call me a coward

[00:03:01] 'Cause I left her at the driving that night

[00:03:06] But I'd rather have names thrown at me

[00:03:11] Than to fight for a thing that ain't right

[00:03:16] 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 when I opened my eyes

[00:03:32] I was a victim of the great compromise

[00:03:45] Well she writes all the fellows love letters

[00:03:50] Saying greetings come and see me real soon

[00:03:55] 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

[00:04:19] But she won't let me live with her

[00:04:24] And she makes me live in my head

[00:04:29] I used to sleep at the foot of old glory

[00:04:34] And awake in the dawn's early light

[00:04:39] But much to my surprise when I opened my eyes

[00:04:44] I was a victim of the great compromise
