《El Western Motel》歌词

[00:00:00] El Western Motel - Chris Wall

[00:00:09] Down at the old El Western Motel

[00:00:14] There's a sturdy old cowboy in room number 12

[00:00:19] Since the ranches closed down

[00:00:21] It's all shot to hell

[00:00:24] Forced to move into town

[00:00:26] El Western Motel

[00:00:32] 40 hard years he rode for the brand

[00:00:38] Ridin' and ropin' a top heir hand

[00:00:42] Hit off with a handshake from a smug lonely man

[00:00:47] Thanks for 40 hard years

[00:00:50] That you rode for the brand

[00:00:55] They gave him a week to pack up and go

[00:01:01] In 22 minutes he was off down the road

[00:01:05] Everything that he owned in an old flatbed Ford

[00:01:11] 40 years gathers in a 2-54

[00:01:18] And he once reeked of whiskey

[00:01:20] And horse flesh and danger

[00:01:23] Now he's a stranger in this little town

[00:01:27] Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride

[00:01:32] Through the summer of life upon the divide

[00:01:41] Just down the road there's a silver spur bar

[00:01:46] Stretch of the legs not very far

[00:01:50] Every night at the very same barstool he sits

[00:01:56] Keeps to himself he smiles and he tips

[00:02:03] Now and then in this tavern

[00:02:05] There's some drunken fool

[00:02:09] Who feels free to join him pulls up the stool

[00:02:13] His eyes they glance over

[00:02:15] He ain't drunk he's just bored

[00:02:19] There's no joker story that he ain't heard before

[00:02:26] And he once reeked of whiskey

[00:02:29] And horse flesh and danger

[00:02:31] Now he's a stranger in this little town

[00:02:35] Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride

[00:02:41] Through the summer of life upon the divide

[00:02:49] Cowboy at Christmas brings a rodeo crowd

[00:02:54] They're young and they're pretty

[00:02:56] And they're pretty damn loud

[00:02:58] His eyes play a trick so quick he's not sure

[00:03:04] A young barrel racer that reminds him of her

[00:03:11] In the side him's the young man

[00:03:14] That's yearning the lance

[00:03:17] Buy her a drink and ask her to dance

[00:03:21] He'll be danged if he'll play the old fool cliché

[00:03:27] Their eyes almost meet and his jerck away

[00:03:35] And he once reeked of whiskey

[00:03:37] And horse flesh and danger

[00:03:39] Now he's a stranger in this little town

[00:03:43] Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride

[00:03:49] Through the summer of life upon the divide

[00:03:57] The maid is knockin' with clean towels

[00:04:00] And fresh sheets

[00:04:02] The guy down in 12 ain't been seen in a week

[00:04:07] The desk clerk he comes and he uses his key

[00:04:12] Finds him dead on the bed John Wayne on TV

[00:04:20] The good will they came to sort through his stuff

[00:04:25] A buckle a saddle and a Winchester pump

[00:04:30] Picture of a girl once with the car

[00:04:35] Take back together and two purple hearts

[00:04:43] Down at the spur came the word that he passed

[00:04:49] And his bar room buddies all hoisted a glass

[00:04:52] In voice raised a toast with the deepest regret

[00:04:58] Now he's only remembered by those triumphal bids

[00:05:02] And he once reeked of whiskey

[00:05:05] And horse flesh and danger

[00:05:07] And he died a stranger in this little town

[00:05:12] Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride

[00:05:17] Through the summer of life upon the divide

[00:05:22] Through the summer of life upon the divide

[00:05:30] Down at the old El Western Motel
