《Fire Line Road》歌词

[00:00:00] Fire Line Road - James Mcmurtry

[00:00:07] My name is Alice Walker

[00:00:09] They never told me why

[00:00:11] I'm not named for anybody

[00:00:13] It's a name out of the sky

[00:00:15] They thought it was pretty I guess

[00:00:17] Way back when

[00:00:19] I'll change it some day

[00:00:21] I like to pretend I'm Just a visitor here

[00:00:25] Like on one of those shows

[00:00:27] In a house full of people I don't hardly know

[00:00:30] But we'll all get to go home in a week or so

[00:00:35] Back to real life

[00:00:43] And I'm picking up the carpet

[00:00:44] In the corner where I crash

[00:00:47] I'm too tired to separate the pennies from the trash

[00:00:51] And I don't guess it matters even why Jesus died

[00:00:55] I can tell you about sins

[00:00:59] They got this duplex up on Fire Line Road

[00:01:03] It's way out from town

[00:01:04] So the rent's pretty low

[00:01:07] Not much more than a cinder block cell

[00:01:10] Just like the one next door

[00:01:13] And the next one as well

[00:01:14] And the bus don't run out here

[00:01:16] But three times a day

[00:01:19] The 7 11 it's a full mile away

[00:01:22] And there's a car in the yard

[00:01:24] Mostly rust and dents

[00:01:27] We moved here in it

[00:01:28] But it hasn't run since

[00:01:32] Forget my name

[00:01:34] Can you forget my face

[00:01:39] Gonna lose myself in some finer place

[00:01:48] Finer Places where I'll go

[00:01:55] I'll leave no trace out on Fire Line Road

[00:02:07] And there's a pile of daddy's

[00:02:09] Quick picks scattered on the floor

[00:02:11] Among the half empty bottles

[00:02:14] That chair against the door

[00:02:15] In case he comes home drinkin'

[00:02:18] With lovin' on his mind

[00:02:19] I'd never let it happen

[00:02:21] But that don't stop him tryin'

[00:02:23] My sister weren't so lucky

[00:02:25] He got to her too soon

[00:02:27] She never saw it coming

[00:02:29] He knew just what to do

[00:02:31] To keep her silent

[00:02:32] I swear to god I'll kill him if I can

[00:02:35] He said she made him do it

[00:02:37] After all he's just a man

[00:02:44] Forget my name can you forget my face

[00:02:52] Gonna lose myself in some finer place

[00:03:00] Finer places where I'll go

[00:03:08] And I'll leave no trace out on Fire Line Road

[00:03:14] One two three four

[00:03:53] Now she snorts that crank

[00:03:55] And stares at the phone

[00:03:57] She ain't big as a minute

[00:03:59] Just skin on bone

[00:04:01] She bites her nails right down to the quick

[00:04:05] And they've taken her babies

[00:04:07] And they won't give them back

[00:04:09] And I know she loves them

[00:04:11] And god knows she tries

[00:04:13] But when you're that far down

[00:04:15] You're just going to get high

[00:04:17] It's like eating or breathing to the rest of us

[00:04:21] She can't even feel bad without the stuff

[00:04:30] Forget my name can you forget my face

[00:04:37] Gonna lose myself in some finer place

[00:04:46] Finer places where I'll go

[00:04:53] I'll leave no trace out on Fire Line Road

[00:05:06] My name is Alice Walker

[00:05:08] They never told me why
