《Preachin’ to the Choir(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Preachin' To The Choir(Album Version) - Rodney Crowell

[00:00:19] My self importance is a god forsaken bore

[00:00:23] I aim for heaven but I wake up on the floor

[00:00:28] I'd take up with rattlesnakes to get my point across

[00:00:32] I'd argue with a parking brake to show em who's the boss

[00:00:37] It's my intention to inspire

[00:00:41] Instead I'm preaching to the choir

[00:00:46] I had some money but I blew it living high

[00:00:51] My wine and women were the best that you could buy

[00:00:55] I tried to prove myself a man of certain taste

[00:00:59] But all I've got to show you now is written on my face

[00:01:05] I'm not someone you'd admire but I'm still preaching to the choir

[00:01:41] I'm born a lion but I don't believe it fits

[00:01:45] I'm no king of the jungle out there living by my wits

[00:01:50] This morning's paper called for romance on a whim

[00:01:54] I reckon I'd believe em' if they told me sink or swim

[00:01:59] I'm under water not on fire but I'm still preaching to the choir

[00:02:08] Baytown texas there's a fisherman I knew

[00:02:13] He read the bible and he spit tobacco too

[00:02:17] He said that crap about the rod you spare to spoil the child

[00:02:21] Is only propaganda meant to keep you in denial

[00:02:27] Go on and follow your desire but he was preaching to the choir

[00:03:03] Time is of the essence when you're hanging by a thread

[00:03:07] And the answer to your questions won't unravel in your head

[00:03:12] When you're staring at forever from the edge of life's abyss

[00:03:16] No one's gonna tell you how it all came down to this

[00:03:22] If you say different you're a liar

[00:03:26] I'm just preaching to the choir

[00:03:30] When I'm standing at the st peter's gate a trying to slip on in

[00:03:35] I might as well plead guilty to the worst of who I've been

[00:03:39] I used to like to think I had a special way with words

[00:03:44] But right now I'm convinced I've more in common with the birds

[00:03:49] I'm not ready to retire I'll keep on preaching to the choir

[00:03:58] I'm not ready to retire I'll keep on preaching to the choir
