《Kentucky, February 27, 1971》歌词

[00:00:00] Kentucky, February 27, 1971 - Tom T. Hall
[00:00:05] There were signs beside
[00:00:07] The road like "Jesus Saves"
[00:00:11] And "Relieve yourself the fast and gentle way"
[00:00:16] I was lookin' for an old man
[00:00:19] Who lived way back in these hills
[00:00:22] Who just might have a story I could tell
[00:00:28] Pretty soon the blacktop disappeared
[00:00:33] I felt the car change to a lower gear
[00:00:39] I took a drink of liquor
[00:00:41] Just to chase away the chill
[00:00:44] I was 27 miles from Olive Hill
[00:00:50] Ahead I saw the bridge where I turned right
[00:00:56] A dirt road led straight up a mountainside
[00:01:01] I pulled up to a farmhouse
[00:01:04] I thought I had seen before
[00:01:07] An old man and his dog were at the door
[00:01:12] They told me this old-timer knew this land
[00:01:18] I told him, "Sir, I just don't understand
[00:01:24] Why the kids in this state
[00:01:26] Just grow up and move away
[00:01:29] And leave the land where
[00:01:31] They were born and raised."
[00:01:35] He said, "Son, you can't make it on this land
[00:01:40] Unless you're happy workin' with your hands
[00:01:46] There ain't no kids today
[00:01:48] That wanna stay and work it out
[00:01:52] They wanna see the things they hear about."
[00:01:57] He said, "I cleared this whole farm off myself
[00:02:03] And I'd work it now but time has got my health."
[00:02:08] Then starin' out the window restin' in his easy chair
[00:02:14] He told me what I'd really come to hear
[00:02:19] "You know, son, people used to tell their kids
[00:02:25] 'Now, I don't want you to
[00:02:26] Have to work the way I did.'
[00:02:30] They don't and some will tell you that it's a shame
[00:02:36] But you have to think before you place the blame."
[00:02:42] I guess we must have talked for half a day
[00:02:47] 'Til I told him that I'd best be on my way
[00:02:53] He shook my hand and said,
[00:02:55] "I'm glad I met you, Mr. Hall
[00:02:58] But I guess there ain't no song here after all."
