《Stoney》歌词

[00:05:20] I first ran into Stoney. . . it was a bar downtown;

[00:05:20] Was Richmond, Virginia. . . we were bumming around,

[00:05:20] Suitcase to suitcase. . . we started him talking,

[00:05:20] Finding out about the things we＇ve shared in the miles we＇ve been.

[00:05:20] He had a gray pillowcase full of books by Durrell,

[00:05:20] And he had this old concertina, all beat up and she played like hell,

[00:05:20] Until you got him started singing those Gospel songs,

[00:05:20] Well, he drank all night for nothing, he told his stories till dawn.

[00:05:20] And he said, ＂Come on, get your bag, boy! Sun＇s up now and it＇s time to roll!

[00:05:20] Hell, you know there ain＇t no better time than early in the morning

[00:05:20] To be out walking down that road!

[00:05:20] Just feeling another day beginning while some fools just rushing on by,

[00:05:20] We＇ll be like some Mr. Independence: we＇re taking our own sweet time!＂

[00:05:20] We walked on out that highway under a clear blue sky,

[00:05:20] I＇s listening to the tales he told, drinking warm red wine.

[00:05:20] ＇Bout the night he rolled seven; bout some girl he＇d done wrong;

[00:05:20] ＇Bout everything he could think of while we walked along.

[00:05:20] Yeah, ol＇ Stoney had a magic; made him hard to forget.

[00:05:20] Like the night we flew down the highway (his old pickup, it nearly wrecked!)

[00:05:20] Was a crazy woman driving, all drunked up and carrying on;

[00:05:20] Till Stoney finally calmed her singing those Gospel songs.

[00:05:20] Well, we split the road at Norwood, and he just shook my hand.

[00:05:20] He said, ＂I＇ll see you some place, friend,＂ but you know he never has.

[00:05:20] But we were that free then, just walking down the road,

[00:05:20] Never really caring where that highway goes.

[00:05:20] Yeah, Stoney was a liar (a *ter!) ain＇t no doubt about it.

[00:05:20] It was just the way he told things, and you never want to doubt him.

[00:05:20] ＇Cause he kept you going when the road got rough,

[00:05:20] And brought you through the lean times by making it up.

[00:05:20] ＂Hey, did I ever tell you the time I married my cousin up in Las Vegas?＂

[00:05:20] Yeah, Stoney. Tell it again, will you?
