《Talking New Bob Dylan》歌词

[00:00:09] Hey Bob Dylan I wrote you a song

[00:00:11] Today is your birthday if I'm not wrong

[00:00:13] If I'm not mistaken you're fifty today

[00:00:16] How are you doin' Bob? What do you say?

[00:00:20] Well it musta been about '62

[00:00:22] I heard you on record and you were brand-new

[00:00:25] An' some had some doubts about the way you sang

[00:00:27] But the truth came through and loudly rang

[00:00:32] Yeah you were hipper than Mitch Miller

[00:00:37] And Johnny Mathis put together

[00:00:40] So I got some boots a harmonica rack

[00:00:43] A D-21 an' I was on the right track

[00:00:45] But I didn't start writing until '68

[00:00:48] It was too damn daunting you were too great

[00:00:53] I won a whole lot of Bob Dylan imitation contests though huh

[00:01:01] Yeah times were a-changin'

[00:01:02] You brought it all home

[00:01:04] 'Blonde On Blonde' 'Like a Rolling Stone'

[00:01:06] The real world is crazy you were deranged

[00:01:09] An' when you went electric why everything changed

[00:01:14] A shock to the system

[00:01:23] Had a commission at yer motorcycle wreck

[00:01:25] Holed up in Woodstock with a broken neck

[00:01:28] The labels were signin' up guys with guitars out to make millions lookin' for stars

[00:01:36] Well I figured it was time to make my move

[00:01:40] Songs from the West Chester County Delta country

[00:01:45] Yeah I got a deal and so did John Prine

[00:01:48] Steve Forbert and Springsteen all in a line

[00:01:51] They were lookin' for you signin' up others

[00:01:53] We were 'new Bob Dylans' your dumb-a** kid brothers

[00:02:01] Well we still get together every week at Bruce's house

[00:02:05] Why he's got quite a spread I tell ya

[00:02:09] It's a twelve-step program

[00:02:13] Well but we were just us and of course you were you

[00:02:15] 'John Wesley Harding' sure sounded new

[00:02:18] And then 'Nashville Skyline' was even newer

[00:02:21] 'Blood On the Tracks' an' the ringin' got truer

[00:02:27] Let's see there was another one in there somewhere

[00:02:31] Oh I got it I got it 'Self Portrait'

[00:02:39] Well it was an interesting effort

[00:02:47] Yeah had to stop listening times were too tough

[00:02:49] Me bein' the new me was hard enough

[00:02:52] You keep right on changin' like you always do

[00:02:54] An' what's best is the old stuff still all sounds new

[00:03:05] Yeah today is your birthday have a great one Bob

[00:03:08] Bein' the new you is one hell of a job

[00:03:10] My kid cranked up her boom-box to almost grown

[00:03:14] When I heard you screamin'

[00:03:16] From her room

[00:03:18] 'Everybody must get stoned '

[00:03:22] Thanks a lot Bob

[00:03:28] Happy birthday Bob
