《The Last Gunfighter Ballad》歌词

[00:00:00] The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Guy Clark

[00:00:01] The old gunfighter on the porch

[00:00:03] Stared into the sun

[00:00:06] And relived the days of living

[00:00:08] By the gun

[00:00:11] When deadly games of pride

[00:00:12] Were played

[00:00:13] And living was mistakes not made

[00:00:16] And the thought of the smell of

[00:00:17] The black powder smoke

[00:00:19] And the stand in the street

[00:00:20] At the turn of a joke

[00:00:22] Ah the smell of the black

[00:00:24] Powder smoke

[00:00:25] And the stand in the street

[00:00:26] At the turn of a joke

[00:00:29] And he can almost feel

[00:00:30] The weight of the gun

[00:00:32] It's always keep your

[00:00:33] Back to the sun

[00:00:34] It's faster than snakes

[00:00:35] Or the blink of an eye

[00:00:37] And it's a time for

[00:00:38] All slow men to die

[00:00:40] And his eyes get squinty

[00:00:41] And his fingers twitch

[00:00:43] And he empties the gun

[00:00:44] At the son of a *****

[00:00:46] And he's hit by the smell of

[00:00:47] The black powder smoke

[00:00:49] And the stand in the street at

[00:00:50] The turn of a joke

[00:00:52] Hit by the smell of the

[00:00:53] Black powder smoke

[00:00:55] And the stand in the street

[00:00:56] At the turn of a joke

[00:00:59] Now the burn of a bullet

[00:01:00] Is only a scar

[00:01:02] He's back in his chair

[00:01:03] In front of the bar

[00:01:05] And the streets are empty

[00:01:06] And the blood's all dried

[00:01:08] And the dead are dust

[00:01:08] And the whiskey's inside

[00:01:11] So buy him a drink

[00:01:13] And lend him an ear

[00:01:14] He's nobody's fool

[00:01:15] And the only one here

[00:01:17] Who remembers the smell of

[00:01:18] The black powder smoke

[00:01:20] And the stand in the street

[00:01:21] At the turn of a joke

[00:01:24] Remember the smell of

[00:01:25] The black powder smoke

[00:01:27] And the stand in the street

[00:01:28] At the turn of a joke

[00:01:31] He said I stood in that street

[00:01:32] Before it was paved

[00:01:34] Learned shoot or be shot

[00:01:35] Before I could shave

[00:01:37] And I did it all for the

[00:01:39] Money and fame

[00:01:40] Noble was nothing

[00:01:41] But feeling no shame

[00:01:43] And nothing was sacred

[00:01:44] But stayin' alive

[00:01:45] And all that I learned

[00:01:47] From a Colt 45

[00:01:49] Was to curse the smell of

[00:01:50] The black powder smoke

[00:01:52] And the stand in the street

[00:01:53] At the turn of a joke

[00:01:55] Curse the smell of the black

[00:01:57] Powder smoke

[00:01:58] And the stand in the street

[00:01:59] At the turn of a joke

[00:02:03] Now he's just an old man

[00:02:04] That no one believes

[00:02:06] Says he's a gunfighter

[00:02:07] The last of the breed

[00:02:09] And there are ghosts

[00:02:10] In the street seeking revenge

[00:02:12] Calling him out to the

[00:02:13] Lunatic fringe

[00:02:15] Now he's out in the

[00:02:16] Traffic checking the sun

[00:02:19] And he's killed by a car

[00:02:20] As he goes for his gun

[00:02:22] So much for the smell of the

[00:02:24] Black powder smoke

[00:02:26] And the stand in the street

[00:02:27] At the turn of a joke

[00:02:29] So much for the smell of the

[00:02:31] Black powder smoke

[00:02:32] And the stand in the street

[00:02:33] At the turn of a joke
