《Sake of the Song》歌词

[00:00:01] Sake of the Song - Hayes Carll

[00:00:02] Written by：Darrell Scott/Hayes Carll

[00:00:19] If you're nobody's business or you're front page news

[00:00:24] Folk Rock Country or Delta Blues

[00:00:28] Tell your truth however you choose

[00:00:32] And do it all for the sake of the song

[00:00:39] Yeah hitchhike and bus ride and rental cars

[00:00:43] Living rooms coffee houses rundown bars

[00:00:48] Ten thousand people or alone under the stars

[00:00:52] It's all for the sake of the song

[00:00:58] There's the man who wrote

[00:01:01] Your Cheatin' Heart

[00:01:03] Now he's lying through his tooth

[00:01:07] And he plays it on a stolen harp

[00:01:12] That's soaked in hundred proof

[00:01:16] And there's one who might be happy

[00:01:20] But for the writer's curse

[00:01:24] She lost the crowd's attention

[00:01:28] By the forty second verse

[00:01:33] It's the travelling salesman the girl next door

[00:01:38] On the empty room to the bird on the corner

[00:01:42] Less is less until more is more

[00:01:46] And it's all for the sake of the song

[00:02:07] And there's the young man on the marquee

[00:02:11] He's the son of some well known

[00:02:16] And his father bought the tour bus

[00:02:20] So he could strike out on his own

[00:02:24] And there's the brooding contradiction

[00:02:29] Yeah he's holding Van Gogh's ear

[00:02:33] And he's taped it to his guitar

[00:02:37] In the hope someone will hear

[00:02:42] It's black berets and Nudie Suits

[00:02:46] The next big thing or getting back to your roots

[00:02:51] High tops flannels or duct tape boots

[00:02:55] And it's all for the sake of the song

[00:03:15] And there's the mystic there's the legend

[00:03:20] There's the best that's ever been

[00:03:24] And there's the voice of a generation

[00:03:28] Who wants to pass this way again

[00:03:33] And there's record deals and trained seals

[00:03:37] And puppets on a string

[00:03:41] And they're all just trying to figure out

[00:03:46] What makes the caged bird sing

[00:03:52] It's lights camera on with the show

[00:03:56] Lifetime to get ready now go cat go

[00:04:01] Where it all ends nobody knows

[00:04:05] But it's all for the sake of the song

[00:04:11] So if you're nobody's business or you're front page news

[00:04:17] Folk Rock Country or Delta Blues

[00:04:22] Tell your truth however you choose

[00:04:26] And do it all for the sake of the song
