《Let Him Roll》歌词

[00:00:12] Let him roll Lord let him roar

[00:00:20] He always said that heaven was just a Dallas w***e

[00:00:29] He was a wino tried and true

[00:00:32] Done about everything there is to do

[00:00:35] He worked on freighters he worked in bars

[00:00:39] He worked on farms and he worked on cars

[00:00:43] It was white port that put that look in his eye

[00:00:47] That grown men get when they need to cry

[00:00:51] He sat down on the curb to rest

[00:00:54] And his head just fell down on his chest

[00:00:58] He said every single day it gets

[00:01:02] A little bit harder to handle and yet

[00:01:06] And he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered

[00:01:10] And the words just rolled off down in the gutter

[00:01:14] He was elevator man in a cheap hotel

[00:01:18] In exchange for the rent on a one room cell

[00:01:21] He's old in years beyond his time

[00:01:25] Thanks to the world and the white Port wine

[00:01:29] So he says son he always called me son

[00:01:33] He said life for you has just begun

[00:01:36] And he told me a story that I'd heard before

[00:01:40] How he fell in love with a Dallas w***e

[00:01:45] He could cut through the years to the very night

[00:01:48] When it ended in a w***e house fight

[00:01:51] And she turned his last proposal down

[00:01:55] In favor of being a girl about town

[00:02:00] Now it's been seventeen years right in line

[00:02:04] And he ain't been straight none of the time

[00:02:07] Too many days of fightin' the weather

[00:02:10] And too many nights of not being together

[00:02:15] So he died

[00:02:31] When they went through his personal affects

[00:02:34] In among the stubs from the welfare checks

[00:02:37] Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door

[00:02:41] An address in Dallas and nothin' more

[00:02:46] The welfare people provided the priest

[00:02:49] A couple from the mission down the street

[00:02:52] Sang Amazing Grace and no one cried

[00:02:56] Cept some lady in black way off to the side

[00:03:01] We all left and she was standing there

[00:03:04] Black veil coverin' her silver hair

[00:03:08] And 'ol ene-eyed John said her name was Alice

[00:03:11] And she used to be a w***e in Dallas

[00:03:15] Let him roar Lord let him roll

[00:03:23] Bet he's gone to Dallas rest his soul

[00:03:29] Lord let him roll Lord let him roar

[00:03:37] He always said that heaven was just a Dallas w***e

[00:03:43] Let him roar Lord let him roll

[00:03:50] I bet he's gone to Dallas rest his soul
