《The Good Earth》歌词

[00:00:00] The Good Earth - Johnny Cash

[00:00:07] The good earth swallows up the seed

[00:00:10] Swallows life as well

[00:00:13] From long before the day you're born

[00:00:16] Till heaven comes or hell

[00:00:23] It binds your hands with chains of clay

[00:00:27] That are so hard to break

[00:00:29] But when I left good earth behind I made a big mistake

[00:00:39] I've traveled far and traveled wide

[00:00:43] I've seen a lot of things

[00:00:46] But looking back on all the years

[00:00:49] I don't know what they mean

[00:00:52] Like steel I'm probably stronger

[00:00:55] From going through the fire

[00:00:59] I kept on climbing lower

[00:01:02] Digging deeper to get higher

[00:01:09] I turned around one evening

[00:01:11] When the sun was going down

[00:01:15] I heard the Bible told a preacher

[00:01:18] Who just pulled in to town

[00:01:25] At last I'm back on good earth

[00:01:28] Where I should have always been

[00:01:32] Lord forgive me if I ever try to leave good earth again

[00:01:41] Well the good earth was my mama and my daddy too

[00:01:48] Now I'm working my hands in soil trying to pay my due

[00:01:54] And when I'll breathe my last breath

[00:01:57] Which may not be too long

[00:02:00] Just shovel a little good earth over my head

[00:02:04] Till everybody open up the hymn book and

[00:02:07] Sing a happy song

[00:02:13] Shall we gather at the river in the sweet by and by

[00:02:20] Just as I am Jesus loves me one of

[00:02:24] These days I'll fly

[00:02:29] I'm standing on the promises Lord build the place for me

[00:02:36] In the good earth over Jordan by the Sea of Galilee mhm
