《Minutes To Memories(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Minutes To Memories (Live) - John Mellencamp

[00:00:27] On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond Jamestown

[00:00:30] He saw the sun set on the Tennessee line

[00:00:34] He looked at the young man who was riding beside him

[00:00:38] He said I'm old kind of worn out inside

[00:00:43] I worked my whole life in the steel mills near Gary

[00:00:47] And my father before me I helped build this land

[00:00:51] Now I'm seventy-seven and with God as my witness

[00:00:54] I earned every dollar that passed through my hands

[00:00:58] My family and friends are the best thing I've known

[00:01:02] Through the eye of the needle I'll carry them home

[00:01:07] Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories

[00:01:11] Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned

[00:01:15] You are young and you are the future

[00:01:18] So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can

[00:01:31] The rain hit the old dog in the twilight's last gleaming

[00:01:35] He said Son it sounds like rattling old bones

[00:01:39] This highway is long but I know some that are longer

[00:01:43] By sunup tomorrow I guess I'll be home

[00:01:47] Through the hills of Kentucky 'cross the Ohio river

[00:01:51] The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times

[00:01:55] He fell asleep with his head against the window

[00:01:59] He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind

[00:02:03] This world offers riches and riches will grow wings

[00:02:07] And I don't take stock in those uncertain things

[00:02:11] Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories

[00:02:15] Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned

[00:02:19] You are young and you are the future

[00:02:23] So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can

[00:03:04] The old man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow

[00:03:08] I do things my way and I pay a high price

[00:03:12] When I think back on the old man and the bus ride

[00:03:16] Now that I'm older I can see he was right

[00:03:24] So another hot one out on highway eleven

[00:03:28] This is my life

[00:03:29] It's what I've chosen to do

[00:03:31] There's no free rides no one said it'd be easy

[00:03:36] The old man told me this my son I'm telling it to you

[00:03:40] Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories

[00:03:44] Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned

[00:03:48] You are young and you are the future

[00:03:51] So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can
