《American Remains》歌词

[00:00:00] American Remains (美国依然是) - Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)/Willie Nelson (威利·纳尔逊)/Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)/Kris Kristofferson (克里斯·克里斯托佛森)

[00:00:09] I am a shotgun rider for the San Jacinto line

[00:00:14] The desert is my brother

[00:00:16] My skin is cracked and dry

[00:00:19] I was riding on a folk coach

[00:00:21] And everything was fine

[00:00:23] Till we took a shorter road to save some time

[00:00:28] The bandits only fired once

[00:00:30] They shot me in the chest

[00:00:33] They may have wounded me

[00:00:35] But they'll never get the best of better men

[00:00:42] 'Cause I'll ride again

[00:00:47] I am a river gambler

[00:00:49] I make a living dealing cards

[00:00:52] My clothes are smoothed and honest

[00:00:54] My heart is cold and hard

[00:00:56] I was shuffling for some delta boys

[00:00:59] On a boat for New Orleans

[00:01:01] I was the greatest sharp they'd ever seen

[00:01:06] But the captain bumped a sandbar

[00:01:08] And an ace fell from my sleeve

[00:01:11] They threw me overboard

[00:01:13] As I swore I didn't cheat

[00:01:16] But I could swim

[00:01:20] And I'll ride again

[00:01:26] We are heroes of the homeland

[00:01:28] American remains

[00:01:31] We live in many places

[00:01:33] And answer many names

[00:01:35] We will not be forgotten

[00:01:37] We won't be left behind

[00:01:40] Our memories live on

[00:01:42] In mortal minds

[00:01:46] And poets pens

[00:01:51] We'll ride again

[00:01:56] I am a midwest farmer

[00:01:59] I make a living off the land

[00:02:01] I ride a John Deere tractor

[00:02:03] I'm a liberated man

[00:02:06] But the rain it hasn't fallen

[00:02:08] Since the middle of July

[00:02:11] And if it don't come soon

[00:02:12] My crops will die

[00:02:15] The bankman says he likes me

[00:02:17] But there's nothing he can do

[00:02:20] He tells me that he's coming

[00:02:22] But the clouds are coming too

[00:02:25] He ain't my friend

[00:02:30] And I'll ride agin

[00:02:35] I am an American Indian

[00:02:37] My tribe is Cherokee

[00:02:40] My forefathers loved this land

[00:02:42] They left it here for me

[00:02:45] But the white men came with boats

[00:02:46] And trains and dirty factories

[00:02:50] Poisoned my existence with his deeds

[00:02:54] Nature is our mother

[00:02:56] We are suckling her breast

[00:02:59] He who tries to beater down will lose her to the rest

[00:03:04] They'll never win

[00:03:09] I'll ride again

[00:03:14] We are heroes of the homeland

[00:03:16] American remains

[00:03:19] We live in many places

[00:03:21] And answer many names

[00:03:23] We will not be forgotten

[00:03:26] We won't be left behind

[00:03:28] Our memories live on

[00:03:30] In mortal minds

[00:03:35] And poets pens

[00:03:39] We'll ride again
