《The Ballad of Jamie Bee》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad of Jamie Bee - John Gorka

[00:00:14] Jamie ran aground out in Ohio

[00:00:21] Wife left for the great unknown

[00:00:28] He says he's gonna take to the high road

[00:00:35] She will find a place alone

[00:00:42] He says he just could not make her happy

[00:00:49] That he never tried so hard before

[00:00:56] He'd wake up first and make the coffee

[00:01:03] Now the mornings were like war

[00:01:08] There's a barroom for every way the wind blows

[00:01:15] And a harness for every mother's son

[00:01:22] You pull your own weight or else it pulls you

[00:01:28] It gets harder the longer that you run

[00:01:36] Jamie's from the last great breed of roadmen

[00:01:43] Woody Jack and Kerouac and such

[00:01:50] But here was a woman he would die for

[00:01:57] Beauty no road could ever touch

[00:02:04] The town was nearly famous for the glassworks

[00:02:11] The factory where they made hoods for the klan

[00:02:17] There's a football hall of famer in the phonebook

[00:02:25] There's only trouble for an empty man

[00:02:31] There's a barroom for every way the wind blows

[00:02:37] And temptation in every substance known

[00:02:45] You pull your own weight or else it pulls you

[00:02:51] It gets harder the older that you've grown

[00:03:11] At home in the harley-ridden poolhalls

[00:03:18] I guess it's best they never had those kids

[00:03:25] Closer to the outlaws then the in-laws

[00:03:31] They said Jamie's heart don't break but I know it did

[00:03:37] They said Jamie's heart don't break but I know it did

[00:03:45] He will find some refuge in his music

[00:03:52] And a long shot that they will reconcile

[00:03:58] The meantime is a mean time and he knows it

[00:04:06] Til the day he's back upon the pile

[00:04:12] Now there's headlights heading from Ohio

[00:04:19] And there's teardrops saltier than rain

[00:04:26] There's taillights to tell a tale still tender

[00:04:32] And a cold wind blowing through the night

[00:04:39] There's a cold wind blowing through the night
