《Readin’， Rightin’， Rt. 23》歌词

[00:00:00] Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23 (LP Version) - Dwight Yoakam

[00:00:04] They learned readin' rightin' Route 23

[00:00:10] To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories

[00:00:16] They didn't know that old highway

[00:00:19] Could lead them to a world of misery

[00:00:27] Have you ever been down Kentucky-way

[00:00:29] Say south of Prestonburg

[00:00:32] Have you ever been up in a holler

[00:00:37] Have you ever heard

[00:00:39] A mountain man cough his life away

[00:00:40] From diggin' that black coal in those dark mines those dark mines

[00:00:45] If you had you might just understand

[00:00:50] The reason that they left is all behind

[00:00:54] Chorus:

[00:00:55] They learned readin' rightin' Route 23

[00:01:03] To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories

[00:01:09] They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north

[00:01:15] To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford

[00:01:20] They thought readin' rightin' Route 23

[00:01:27] Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

[00:01:32] They didn't know that old highway

[00:01:37] Could lead them to a world of misery

[00:01:42] Have you ever seen 'em put the kids in the car after work on Friday night

[00:02:02] Pull up in a holler about 2 a m and see a light still shinin' bright

[00:02:06] Those mountain folks sat up that late

[00:02:10] Just to hold those little grandkids in their arms in their arms

[00:02:15] And I'm proud to say that I've been blessed

[00:02:22] And touched by their sweet hillbilly charm

[00:02:25] Chorus:

[00:02:25] They learned readin' rightin' Route 23

[00:02:34] To the jobs that lay waiting in those cities' factories

[00:02:37] They learned readin' rightin' roads to the north

[00:02:45] To the luxury and comfort a coal line can't afford

[00:02:52] They thought readin' rightin' Route 23

[00:02:56] Would take them to the good life that they had never seen

[00:03:02] They didn't know that old highway

[00:03:09] Could lead them to a world of misery

[00:03:16] Yeah it turns out that that old highway leads you to a world of misery
