《Refrain(Album Version)》歌词

[00:02:09] Refrain - James

[00:02:09] Oh, John Dillon James was my good time country buddy

[00:02:09] Well, we hunted, talked and fished his last days away

[00:02:09] He was just a hired farm hand, worked old man Walker's land

[00:02:09] Retired on his 68th birthday

[00:02:09] Yeah, he wore a size sixteen shoe, had skin like alligator

[00:02:09] Lord, he could pick up a deer and walk right out of those woods

[00:02:09] Old Dillon had a million tales but he sung me one refrain

[00:02:09] And I recall that song by John Dillon James

[00:02:09] One July Monday morning I met him at the fishing hole

[00:02:09] But old Dillon wasn't toting his half pint of tin hide

[00:02:09] His roll your own tobacco string was a-hanging from his pocket

[00:02:09] His eyes were red as beets, looked like he cried

[00:02:09] And I know he sat on knees cause his overalls were muddy

[00:02:09] But my ten year old mind didn't understand

[00:02:09] He sat down on the bank and wrote this four line refrain

[00:02:09] And I recall that song by John Dillon James

[00:02:09] Well, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky

[00:02:09] I've been talking to the man, I'm gonna fly

[00:02:09] Paid the price down on my knees

[00:02:09] A voice from heaven promised me

[00:02:09] I got my ticket for the ride in the sky

[00:02:09] Well, it was one year to the day on a July Monday morning

[00:02:09] I waited at the fishing hole but old Dillon, he didn't show

[00:02:09] Daddy came down about noon, and said

[00:02:09] Son, I've got some news

[00:02:09] Lord's rested old Dillon's soul

[00:02:09] Yeah, and I walked up to his bedside

[00:02:09] Looked down at old big Dillon

[00:02:09] Lord knows that I saw a pair of wings

[00:02:09] That tables set but I felt good, for at last I understood

[00:02:09] That refrain sung by John Dillon James

[00:02:09] Well, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky, Lord, y'all

[00:02:09] I've been talking to the man, I'm gonna fly (I'm gonna fly)

[00:02:09] I paid the price down on my knees

[00:02:09] A voice from heaven promised me

[00:02:09] Well, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky

[00:02:09] Yeah, I got my ticket for the ride in the sky
