《This Old Skin》歌词

[00:00:00] This Old Skin - Beautiful South

[00:00:14] It was '96 in south carolina

[00:00:18] Thats the place and not the goddam year

[00:00:22] I was sittin on the porch out at bobbys place

[00:00:25] Just tuggin on a lukewarm beer

[00:00:30] There i was peepin like that old sidewinder

[00:00:33] Just an inch or so above the mud

[00:00:37] The first to find out that its rainin

[00:00:40] Is the last to find out its a flood

[00:00:46] It was paradise valley nevada

[00:00:50] Not far from where the west was won

[00:00:53] I am the only black face in the whole damn place

[00:00:57] Just a raisin in the blazing sun

[00:01:01] Here i am like that old sidewinder

[00:01:04] Just wishin that her eggs aint hatched

[00:01:08] And the chain i wear has 'em wishin for

[00:01:11] The day when it came with a ball attached

[00:01:17] So im gonna move right outta this town

[00:01:25] When this old skin stops weighin me down

[00:01:32] This old skin

[00:01:32] He was sittin in the very same spot

[00:01:35] That otis sat to watch the dock of the bay

[00:01:40] In the very same spot the ships rolled in

[00:01:43] Now there's nothing but the mud and the clay

[00:01:47] Im gonna move right outta this town

[00:01:54] This old skin is weighing me down

[00:02:02] This old skin

[00:02:10] Outside atlanta when the sunshine state

[00:02:13] Has just upped itself another degree

[00:02:17] I am the very last orange of the whole years crop

[00:02:21] Hangin dearly to the branch of the tree

[00:02:24] And the wind in the spring couldn't do anything

[00:02:28] So im burnin in the sun of the south

[00:02:32] That old sidewinder in the dust below

[00:02:35] Im just waiting till it opens its mouth

[00:02:40] So im gonna move right outta this town

[00:02:48] This old skin finally touches the ground

[00:02:56] This old skin

[00:02:56] He was sittin in the very same spot

[00:02:59] That otis sat to watch the dock of the bay

[00:03:04] The very same spot the ships rolled in

[00:03:07] Now there's nothing but the mud and the clay

[00:03:10] Now im gonna move right outta this town

[00:03:18] This old skin finally touches the ground

[00:03:25] This old skin

[00:03:29] This old skin

[00:03:32] This old skin

[00:03:40] This old skin
