《A Front Row Seat to Hear Ole Johnny Sing》歌词

[00:00:07] Silverstein

[00:00:08] Now you know some fellahs they want fame and fortune

[00:00:12] Yeah and other fellahs they just wanna swing

[00:00:17] But all I wanted all my life

[00:00:19] Was a TV set and a truck and a wife

[00:00:21] And a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

[00:00:26] Yeah the TV and the truck I got on credit

[00:00:30] And I got that girl with a little old Woolworth ring

[00:00:35] And life was warm and life was sweet

[00:00:37] But still it was kinda incomplete

[00:00:40] Without a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

[00:00:44] Hey John you walk the line

[00:00:47] Do Deelia one more time

[00:00:49] And when you do them Cottonfields

[00:00:51] You warm this heart of mine

[00:00:56] So one day I thought Hey I'm gonna do it

[00:00:59] That's what I said

[00:01:00] So I mortgaged the farm and pawned her wedding ring

[00:01:05] I sold the gold tooth out of my mouth

[00:01:07] And jumped in the pickup and headed South

[00:01:09] For a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

[00:01:14] I hit Nashville cold and wet and hungry

[00:01:18] I said I'm here bring him on let him do his thing

[00:01:23] But they told me down at the Old Pit Grill

[00:01:25] I'd have to go all the way to Andersonville

[00:01:27] For a front row seat to hear ole Jonny sing

[00:01:32] I found his house knocked on the door and it was opened

[00:01:37] By a brown haired girl and a baby with a teethin' ring

[00:01:41] I said I seen you somewhere before

[00:01:43] But don't stand there and block the door

[00:01:46] I want a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

[00:01:50] Hey John you walk the line

[00:01:52] Do Deelia one more time

[00:01:55] And when you do them Cottonfields

[00:01:57] You warm this heart of mine

[00:02:01] She said I'd have to go down to The Opry

[00:02:06] And the feller there said I'd have to wait till Spring

[00:02:10] He said We've been sold out for months and months

[00:02:13] And this poor insane fellah wants

[00:02:15] A front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

[00:02:19] Well he said a couple more things and I started cryin'

[00:02:24] And then he laughed at me and that's when I started to swing

[00:02:28] Well I bust through the doors in a roaring rage

[00:02:31] Crawled over the crowd till I reached the stage

[00:02:33] For a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing

[00:02:37] Hey John you walk the line

[00:02:41] Do Deelia one more time

[00:02:42] And when you do them Cottonfields

[00:02:45] You warm this heart of mine

[00:02:50] Then some crazy guard started shootin'

[00:02:54] I shot back and the next thing I know I was winged

[00:02:57] And on the floor

[00:02:58] When a guy in a voice kinda deep and low

[00:03:00] Says Boy that's a mighty long way to go

[00:03:03] For a front row seat to hear ANYBODY sing

[00:03:07] And I guess that judge he weren't no music lover

[00:03:12] I got fifteen months but that don't mean a thing

[00:03:17] Cos' yesterday in the prison yard

[00:03:20] A show come through and HAR de HAR

[00:03:24] I had a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
