《Desperation Road(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Desperation Road (Album Version) - Michael Martin Murphey

[00:00:10] Driving West out on I'm 40

[00:00:12] On my way to taste some California wine

[00:00:21] Broke down family flagged me down

[00:00:24] Near the Arizona line

[00:00:28] Their whole world was in a pickup

[00:00:32] I guess it couldn't pull the load

[00:00:38] It was just our vacation

[00:00:41] But to them it was desperation road

[00:00:49] The lines on their faces

[00:00:52] Told the story of the places that they'd been

[00:00:59] Now their home is a highway

[00:01:04] That never seems to end

[00:01:07] Empty dreams and empty pockets

[00:01:11] Sure can make a heavy load

[00:01:18] To some of us it's just a highway

[00:01:21] But to others it's desperation road

[00:01:29] Their eyes had a sadness

[00:01:31] From another place in time

[00:01:39] A silent reminder that the grapes of wrath

[00:01:43] Still make bitter wine

[00:01:49] And it sure makes you wonder

[00:01:53] 'Bout all the seeds our country sows

[00:02:01] Which of us will be the next

[00:02:03] To travel down desperation road

[00:02:11] I helped them start their pickup

[00:02:13] And watched them as they faded out of sight

[00:02:21] Guess the last thing I remember

[00:02:24] Is the faces of the children in my lights

[00:02:29] That night in a motel room

[00:02:32] I have a dream that made my blood run cold

[00:02:39] I saw my own wife and family

[00:02:43] Standing out on desperation road

[00:02:50] And their eyes had a sadness

[00:02:54] From another place in time

[00:03:01] A silent reminder that the grapes of wrath

[00:03:05] Still make bitter wine

[00:03:11] And it sure makes you wonder

[00:03:14] 'Bout all the seeds our country sows

[00:03:22] Which of us will be the next

[00:03:25] To travel down desperation road

[00:03:32] Could be your own wife and family

[00:03:35] Standing out on desperation road
