《Dead On Time》歌词

[00:00:01] Dead On Time - Slim Dusty

[00:00:09] He'd done this run for a long time now

[00:00:11] And he don't know why and

[00:00:13] He don't know how

[00:00:14] But he'd never been late so

[00:00:15] They called him 'Dead on Time'

[00:00:19] He painted the name on the bonnet in black

[00:00:22] And the station kids on the mailman's track

[00:00:24] Would all look out for the

[00:00:26] Dust of 'Dead On Time'

[00:00:30] Would all look out for

[00:00:31] The dust of 'Dead On Time'

[00:00:38] I gotta be back for the kid's birthday

[00:00:40] The mailman said as he waved hooray

[00:00:43] And wheeled his truck on the long

[00:00:45] Haul homeward bound

[00:00:48] The wife's gonna make him a chocolate cake

[00:00:51] They made me promise that I won't be late

[00:00:53] I'll see you again when I come next time around

[00:00:58] I'll see you again when I come next time around

[00:01:30] But 'Dead On Time' ran outta luck

[00:01:33] And he couldn't believe when his good old truck

[00:01:35] Ground to a halt with a burnt out bearing whine

[00:01:40] Not a tree in sight and the water bag low

[00:01:43] Not a hope in hell of getting her to go

[00:01:46] Didn't look too good at all for 'Dead On Time'

[00:01:51] Didn't look too good at all for 'Dead On Time'

[00:01:59] A birthday party and a chocolate cake

[00:02:01] Went dancin' across the dry salt lake

[00:02:04] Where the mirage met

[00:02:05] With the distant timber line

[00:02:09] And the silent truck threw a meagre shade

[00:02:12] Over the plea for help that he made

[00:02:14] Scratched in the dirt on

[00:02:16] The road by "Dead On Time'

[00:02:22] He'd done this run for a long time now

[00:02:25] And he don't know why

[00:02:26] And he don't know how

[00:02:27] But he'd never been late

[00:02:28] So they called him 'Dead on Time'

[00:02:33] He painted the name on the bonnet in black

[00:02:35] And the station kids on the mailman's track

[00:02:38] Still look out for the dust of "Dead On Time'

[00:02:42] Yeah
