《Old Days》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Days - John Hiatt

[00:00:18] I was sittin' in a dressing room

[00:00:20] With brownie mcghee

[00:00:22] He was drinkin' that milk

[00:00:25] With that dewar's whiskey

[00:00:26] Said john

[00:00:27] There's nothin'

[00:00:27] Written anywhere

[00:00:29] Suggests the blues

[00:00:30] Will set you free

[00:00:31] Old days

[00:00:32] Are comin' back to me

[00:00:35] I was ridin'

[00:00:36] In the back seat

[00:00:37] With sonny terry

[00:00:39] Little harmonica player

[00:00:40] Used to drive him around

[00:00:42] I think his name was harry

[00:00:44] Tried to get him to eat tofu

[00:00:45] Raw vegetables nuts

[00:00:47] And berries

[00:00:48] But sonny

[00:00:49] Wasn't havin' any of it

[00:00:52] He let me share a room with 'em

[00:00:55] For a couple of weeks

[00:00:56] Sonny slept with his good eye

[00:00:58] Open staring out

[00:00:59] From under the sheets

[00:01:01] I was young and uncomfortable

[00:01:03] I don't mind tellin' ya

[00:01:04] Kinda gave me the creeps

[00:01:05] Old days

[00:01:06] Are comin' back to me

[00:01:10] Old days

[00:01:11] Are comin' back to me

[00:01:14] Don't know what was

[00:01:15] So good about 'em

[00:01:16] I played practically free

[00:01:18] I had nothin'

[00:01:19] To live up to

[00:01:21] Everywhere to be

[00:01:22] Old days

[00:01:23] Are comin' back to me

[00:01:27] On some dates

[00:01:28] With mose allison

[00:01:29] Somewhere out in the midwest

[00:01:31] Said some of my lyrics

[00:01:32] Reminded him

[00:01:32] Of the poet kenneth patchen

[00:01:33] I took it as a compliment

[00:01:36] He was referring to the line

[00:01:37] About wearin' neon signs

[00:01:38] On your wounds

[00:01:39] Later on

[00:01:39] I knew what he meant

[00:01:40] Old days

[00:01:41] Are comin' back to me

[00:01:44] On a date

[00:01:45] With john lee hooker

[00:01:46] At a packed

[00:01:47] Joint up in washington

[00:01:49] He came in

[00:01:49] With a gorgeous woman

[00:01:50] On each arm

[00:01:51] As I was singing my song

[00:01:53] Walked 'em right up

[00:01:54] And sat 'em

[00:01:55] On the edge of the stage

[00:01:56] As I went singing along

[00:01:57] And that's called

[00:01:58] Evenin' son

[00:01:59] I'm the headliner

[00:02:02] Old days

[00:02:03] Are comin' back to me

[00:02:06] I don't know what was

[00:02:07] So great about 'em

[00:02:08] I played practically free

[00:02:10] But I had nothing

[00:02:11] To live up to

[00:02:13] And everywhere to be

[00:02:14] Old days

[00:02:15] Are comin' back to me

[00:02:36] Played a gig

[00:02:36] With john hammond jr

[00:02:38] Up in vancouver bc

[00:02:40] Exotic dancer came

[00:02:41] In my dressing room

[00:02:42] Started dancing exotically

[00:02:44] They were smoking something

[00:02:45] In the audience that night

[00:02:46] Smelled exactly like cat pee

[00:02:49] Old days are comin' back to me

[00:02:54] Opened up a gig

[00:02:55] For gatemouth brown

[00:02:55] Down in baton rouge

[00:02:57] He was playing

[00:02:58] That hillbilly jazz

[00:02:59] Cajun country

[00:03:00] Zydeco and blues

[00:03:02] Throwin' it

[00:03:03] Out past the walls

[00:03:04] Like some kind

[00:03:05] Of musical centrifuge

[00:03:06] Old days

[00:03:07] Are comin' back to me

[00:03:11] Old days

[00:03:12] Are comin' back to me

[00:03:15] I don't know what was

[00:03:15] So good about 'em

[00:03:17] I played practically free

[00:03:19] But I had nothin'

[00:03:20] To live up to

[00:03:21] Everywhere to be

[00:03:23] Old days

[00:03:24] Are comin' back to me

[00:03:28] Old days

[00:03:29] Are comin' back to me

[00:03:31] I don't know what was

[00:03:32] So great about 'em

[00:03:34] I played practically free

[00:03:36] But I had nothin'

[00:03:37] To live up to

[00:03:38] Everywhere to be

[00:03:40] Old days

[00:03:41] Are comin' back to me

[00:03:45] Old days

[00:03:46] Are comin' back to me
