《The Talkin’ Song Repair Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Talkin' Song Repair Blues - Country Heroes

[00:00:06] The mechanic raised up from under my hood

[00:00:08] His head and said This ain't good

[00:00:10] Your timin' belt's done shrunk one size too small

[00:00:15] And those spark plug wires are a little too long

[00:00:18] And your main prodsponder's nearly gone

[00:00:20] Your injector ports are stripped and that ain't all

[00:00:25] Your torque converter's runnin' low on torque

[00:00:27] And that water pump's nearly down a quart

[00:00:30] We caught it all in time so you're in luck

[00:00:34] He said I've got the time and I've got the parts

[00:00:37] Just give me the word and I'm ready to start

[00:00:39] I think we can bring her in for-uh eight-hundred bucks

[00:00:44] But don't be downhearted I can fix it for you sonny

[00:00:48] It won't take too long it'll just take money

[00:00:56] Then he said Aren't you that songwriter guy

[00:00:59] I said Yes I am

[00:01:00] He said So am I

[00:01:02] He set down and played me a song by the grease rack

[00:01:06] When he finished singin' he gave me a smile

[00:01:09] And I closed my eyes and pondered a while

[00:01:11] He said What do you think

[00:01:13] Now don't hold nothin' back

[00:01:16] Well I gave him my most sorrowful look

[00:01:18] And I said This song's got a broken hook

[00:01:20] I can order you a new one from Nashville

[00:01:22] But it won't be cheap

[00:01:25] And I know you've been using a cut-rate thesaurus

[00:01:27] Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus

[00:01:30] Now your verse is runnin' on verbs

[00:01:32] That are way too weak

[00:01:35] But don't be downhearted I can fix it for you sonny

[00:01:40] It won't take too long it'll just take money

[00:01:48] I said Hold on friend

[00:01:49] Now I'm not through

[00:01:50] I hate to be the one to give you this news

[00:01:53] But your whole

[00:01:53] Melodic structure's done worked itself loose

[00:01:57] It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it

[00:02:00] I'd keep her under fifty beats per minute

[00:02:02] I mean that's just me talkin' it's really up to you

[00:02:07] You've got a bad safety problem

[00:02:09] With that dominant chord with the augmented fifth

[00:02:12] Just see how dangerously high it raises you up

[00:02:16] So just go on over and work on my car

[00:02:19] And I'll sit here by the fan and chances are

[00:02:21] I can straighten this thing out for eight-uh

[00:02:25] Nine-hundred bucks

[00:02:28] But be don't down hearted I can fix it for you sonny

[00:02:33] It won't take too long

[00:02:40] You guessed it

[00:02:43] It may be a hit

[00:02:45] I like it
