《What’s a Simple Man to Do?》歌词

[00:00:00] What's a Simple Man to Do? - Steve Earle (史提夫·厄尔)

[00:00:14] Dear Graciela I'm writin' this letter

[00:00:17] Deep in the night and I'm all alone

[00:00:20] It's nearly breakin' my heart to tell you

[00:00:23] I'm so far away from home

[00:00:27] I know I said I'd never cross the border

[00:00:30] I know I promised to return to you

[00:00:33] But I lost my job in the maquiladora

[00:00:36] What's a simple man to do

[00:00:54] I met a man in Tijuana

[00:00:56] Said he had a job for me to do

[00:00:59] Standin' on a corner in San Diego

[00:01:03] With a pocketful of red balloons

[00:01:06] All I wanted was a little money

[00:01:09] All I needed was a week or two

[00:01:12] I never even saw the police comin'

[00:01:16] What's a simple man to do

[00:01:45] Tell my mamma that I said I'm sorry

[00:01:48] I know she didn't bring me up this way

[00:01:51] Ask if she could light a candle for me

[00:01:54] Pray that I'll come home someday

[00:01:58] Oh Graciela won't you please forgive me

[00:02:01] I never meant to bring this shame to you

[00:02:04] I lost my job in the maquiladora

[00:02:07] What's a simple man to do
