《Eugene， Oregon (Manifest Destiny)》歌词

[00:00:00] Eugene Oregon (Manifest Destiny) - Jayber Crow

[00:00:00] I've yet to make it out

[00:00:03] To Eugene Oregon

[00:00:05] I'm thinkin' of heading there soon

[00:00:11] Get closer to the coast

[00:00:13] Of the Pacific Ocean

[00:00:17] Far from what I'm used to

[00:00:22] My friends have traveled West

[00:00:25] Across the continent

[00:00:28] In search of a better life

[00:00:33] Just like Lewis Clark

[00:00:36] At the request of Jefferson

[00:00:40] Assessed what they could find

[00:00:45] La la la la la

[00:01:07] And all the stories that we tell

[00:01:10] To move us forward

[00:01:12] We learn them when we are young

[00:01:18] So that life becomes a race

[00:01:21] Where you can't look backward

[00:01:24] The best is still yet to come

[00:01:30] And our lives are on a course

[00:01:33] Of Manifest Destiny

[00:01:36] To cover all the miles that we can

[00:01:41] So we formed a modern ranks of

[00:01:44] The Corps of Discovery

[00:01:47] Marchin' out over the land

[00:01:53] La la la la la

[00:02:15] And we ripen like fruit

[00:02:18] Sucking nutrients

[00:02:21] And waitin' for our stems to break

[00:02:25] So we can fall from the tree

[00:02:29] Sweet with indifference

[00:02:31] And sit there for someone to take

[00:02:36] So go ahead and pull the plug

[00:02:40] And drain the conutryside

[00:02:42] And rob small towns of their youth

[00:02:47] Oh pack them up and ship them out

[00:02:51] To someplace far away

[00:02:54] And tell them it's the best they can do

[00:02:59] La la la la la

[00:03:20] Yes and I am moving soon

[00:03:23] To Minnesota

[00:03:25] From Indiana home

[00:03:30] Tell my friends and family

[00:03:33] It nice to know you

[00:03:36] It's time to get out on my own

[00:03:40] And I will move on from here in the

[00:03:44] Name of progress

[00:03:46] Reaching for the setting sun

[00:03:51] Will consume my every care

[00:03:54] Never stop and never rest

[00:03:56] And never say that I am done

[00:04:02] La la la la la

[00:04:22] La la la la la

[00:04:42] Yes and I will make it out

[00:04:45] To Eugene Oregon

[00:04:47] And on to the Pacific coast

[00:04:53] And I will step to the edge

[00:04:56] And touch the ocean

[00:04:59] And that's about as far as you can go

[00:05:04] And I will have to turn around

[00:05:07] My back to the Western sky

[00:05:11] Shiv'ring wet and alone

[00:05:15] And I will see my footsteps

[00:05:19] Stretch back eastward

[00:05:21] Take a breath and follow them home

[00:05:26] Follow them home
