《Monteagle Mountain(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Monteagle Mountain (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:06] There's a stretch of Highway on Interstate 24 between Nashville and Chattanooga

[00:00:11] That's claimed many trucker's life

[00:00:15] And your life is in your hands when you start down that long steep grade

[00:00:20] On Monteagle Mountain

[00:00:25] I just rolled out of Nashville in my big rig headin' south

[00:00:31] My eyes are on fire feels like cotton in my mouth

[00:00:36] My whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll

[00:00:41] I got to be in Florida by tomorrow morning with a full heavy load

[00:00:48] I got to get passed Atlanta as soon as I can tonight

[00:00:53] I got to try to dodge the scales and stay out of Smoky's sight

[00:00:58] But there's one big thing standin' like a nightmare in my way

[00:01:03] I got to top Monteagle Mountain a little bit later today

[00:01:10] Goin' down Monteagle Mountain on I-24

[00:01:15] It's hell for a trucker when the decil's at your door

[00:01:21] He'll tempt you and tell you come on let her roll

[00:01:26] Cause the mountain wants your rig and trucker I want your soul

[00:01:38] When I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold

[00:01:43] I knew I was in trouble and bout to lose control

[00:01:48] The runaway ramp was waitin' I saw the warnin' sign

[00:01:53] I said Lord help me make it have mercy on this soul of mine

[00:02:02] Well I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that bigh truck groan

[00:02:08] My life flashed right before my eyes and for a minute I thought I was gone

[00:02:13] But when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive

[00:02:17] Cause when there's a runaway on Monteagle some truckers don't survive

[00:02:24] Goin' down Monteagle Mountain on I-24

[00:02:29] It's hell for a trucker when the decil's at your door

[00:02:35] He'll tempt you and tell you come on let her roll

[00:02:40] Cause the mountain wants your rig and trucker I want your soul

[00:02:47] Yeah many a good man had lost his life on Monteagle Mountain it's a long steep grade

[00:02:57] Many a good hard workin' boy gone over the side watch out for Monteagle
