《Charlie’s Gold》歌词

[00:00:00] Charlie's Gold - Jim Morris

[00:00:12] Charlie was a dreamer

[00:00:14] I knew him back in school

[00:00:16] And we became good friends along the way

[00:00:21] I went off the college

[00:00:24] He went to fight the war

[00:00:26] And I recall the words he used to say

[00:00:31] He said that's the way it happens

[00:00:33] There's so much you can't control

[00:00:36] So much to figure out

[00:00:39] So much is bought and sold

[00:00:41] But no one's gonna stop me

[00:00:44] I'm getting out of here

[00:00:47] I tell you man I'm going for the gold

[00:00:52] Every now and then

[00:00:54] I'd hear a crazy tale

[00:00:57] About some exotic place where he was seen

[00:01:02] Some folks said he's rich

[00:01:04] Some said he's in jail

[00:01:07] But the truth was probably

[00:01:08] Somewhere in between

[00:01:12] He said that's the way it happens

[00:01:14] There's so much you can't control

[00:01:17] So much to figure out

[00:01:19] So much is bought and sold

[00:01:22] But the ocean's full of treasure

[00:01:25] I'm getting out of here

[00:01:27] I tell you man I'm going for the gold

[00:01:33] Our paths finally crossed

[00:01:35] In a bar down in the Keys

[00:01:37] I shook his hand and offered him a beer

[00:01:42] His face was scarred and thin

[00:01:45] In a quiet voice he said

[00:01:47] I gotta tell you man

[00:01:49] They call me John down here

[00:01:52] He said that's the way it happens

[00:01:54] There's so much you can't control

[00:01:57] So much to figure out

[00:02:00] So much is bought and sold

[00:02:02] But I met these guys from Cuba

[00:02:05] I'm getting out of here

[00:02:08] I tell you man I'm going for the gold

[00:02:23] And that's the way we left it

[00:02:26] The time had been too long

[00:02:28] I said good-bye and never saw him again

[00:02:33] The phone call came one night

[00:02:36] And the voice just simply said

[00:02:38] We found a body in Shark River

[00:02:40] And it just might be your friend

[00:02:44] He said that's the way it happens

[00:02:47] There's so much you can't control

[00:02:50] So much to figure out

[00:02:52] So much is bought and sold

[00:02:55] But no one's gonna stop me

[00:02:58] I'm getting out of here

[00:03:00] I tell you man I'm going for the gold

[00:03:05] And I wonder if old Charlie found his gold
