Higher Lonesome - Willi Carlisle.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Willi Carlisle
[00:12.896]Turned around in Tidewater or all alone in Pueblo
[00:17.157]I been drivin' with a deathwish down mountains on my phone
[00:22.266]Half the places I been might be laced with psilocybin
[00:26.749]I been dreamin' of a country I saw at the rodeo
[00:31.240]Packed a bowl in the Bojangles 'cause Tennessee's so cold
[00:36.522]Charlottesville by sundown's a nightmare to behold
[00:40.893]There's an old-time dame with a twisty name, I couldn't read it if she wrote it
[00:45.514]She's got a black-powder revolver, wants to see if it's still loaded
[00:52.362]I been called by a higher lonesome than low as low can be
[01:01.646]You can write it on my tombstone, outlaw life looks pretty wholesome
[01:06.500]When you pay the price in foolishness it takes to get you free
[01:11.999]Higher lonesome, kill the bitter parts of me
[01:28.105]Codependents, SLA, and AL-Anon, they all know how I felt for ya
[01:33.306]Felt it in my guts before two steps in Philadelphia
[01:37.780]With every coin the joiners get, they're farther from the pain of it
[01:42.530]With all the hurtin' that we did, it's a shame no coin will pay for it
[01:47.268]I think I fell in love again on a walk in city park
[01:51.590]Jodorowsky on the tiny screen and zig-zags dark
[01:56.157]And I figured I should let it go or give it a couple days
[02:00.794]It's a ton of bricks in Minneapolis, she don't know my last name
[02:07.148]But I been called by a higher lonesome than low as low can be
[02:16.588]You can write it on my tombstone, outlaw life looks pretty wholesome
[02:21.623]When you pay the price in foolishness it takes to get you free
[02:27.159]Higher lonesome, kill the bitter parts of me
[02:42.703]I saw the darkness comin' at me in a Jeff City motel
[02:47.927]There was writing on the mirror, said you messed up, so go to hell
[02:52.427]Cormier's pills were on me still, and her letter just half-read
[02:57.114]By the time the sun was up, I just got breakfast instead
[03:01.665]I wish I could call the old folks that aren't with us anymore
[03:06.032]I feel Granny dancing recklessly at the Floyd County Store
[03:10.655]And the artist has his suffering, and the gods will have their pain
[03:15.188]By the time the ride is over, I'm sure I'll ask to ride again
[03:19.694]To see the snowfall in Wyoming strung out on Johno's Coke
[03:24.494]Keep a mailbox in Nebraska so I know that Laura knows
[03:29.178]She can write a letter once a year and say that we're still close
[03:33.730]I can put my sins on Benjamin, hear the songs he wrote
[03:38.096]See, I don't want to hit rock bottom just to see how deep it goes
[03:42.898]Shine a light on six feet under so I ain't afraid to go
[03:47.431]Prove in fact it is as lovely as can be
[03:51.564]When higher lonesome kills the bitter parts of me
[03:56.423]I been called by a higher lonesome
[04:01.160]Higher lonesome, kill the bitter parts of me
