《Rock Back Billy(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Rock Back Billy - John Hiatt (约翰·亥特)

[00:00:24] Get a load of that guy

[00:00:26] With the dew rag on

[00:00:29] And the cowboy tie

[00:00:32] Man that cat is gone

[00:00:35] Form Memphis to Nashville

[00:00:38] Then way out west

[00:00:40] Put that Hollywood party

[00:00:43] To the acid test

[00:00:46] Got a little bungalow

[00:00:47] In the valley somewhere

[00:00:49] Took a gig playin' bass

[00:00:50] With Sonny and Cher

[00:00:52] He took it on his chin

[00:00:53] And never got it off his chest

[00:00:55] He wouldn't be caught

[00:00:57] Dead wearin' that vest

[00:01:00] Not rock back Billy

[00:01:03] Oh rock back Billy

[00:01:09] He came to make a stew

[00:01:12] With that swamp guitar

[00:01:14] He kept it lonesome and blue

[00:01:17] Yeah in the trunk of his car

[00:01:20] But no one gave him a long shot

[00:01:23] Though he never did doubt

[00:01:26] What it was not

[00:01:29] Or what it was all about

[00:01:32] He got all tangled up

[00:01:33] With liquor and drugs

[00:01:35] Tryin' to make a racket

[00:01:36] Like those English mugs

[00:01:38] Till he couldn't get arrested

[00:01:39] And he couldn't see straight

[00:01:40] He couldn't even shine shoes

[00:01:42] In that Golden State

[00:01:45] Not rock back Billy

[00:01:48] Come on rock back Billy

[00:01:55] When you see him on the street

[00:01:59] Well he's no spring chicken

[00:02:07] But ask him how he makes ends meet

[00:02:11] He'll tell you "I'm still pickin'"

[00:02:14] Aw rock it Billy rock it

[00:02:25] Yeah they counted him down

[00:02:28] When they dropped that beat

[00:02:31] But that red hot sound

[00:02:33] They could not defeat

[00:02:37] It started comin' back from Boston

[00:02:40] From East L A

[00:02:42] Down in Austin Texas

[00:02:45] And up New York way

[00:02:48] And as long as there's a kid

[00:02:50] In a room somewhere

[00:02:51] With a beat up guitar

[00:02:52] And some funny lookin' hair

[00:02:54] Well it might be Billy's kid

[00:02:55] You don't know

[00:02:57] And all I've got to say is

[00:03:00] Go cat go

[00:03:03] Come on rock back Billy

[00:03:06] Come on rock back Billy

[00:03:09] Rock back Billy

[00:03:36] Come on rock back Billy
