The Great Compromise - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]

I knew a girl who was almost a lady[00:00:10]

She had a way with all the men in her life[00:00:15]

Every inch of her blossomed in beauty[00:00:20]

She was born on the fourth of July[00:00:25]

Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer[00:00:33]

And she worked in a juke box saloon[00:00:38]

And she spent all the money that I give her[00:00:43]

Just to see the old man in the moon[00:00:49]

I used to sleep at the foot of old glory[00:00:54]

And awake in the dawn's early light[00:00:59]

But much to my surprise[00:01:04]

When I opened my eyes[00:01:07]

I was a victim of the great compromise[00:01:09]

Well we'd go out on saturday evenings[00:01:20]

To the driving on route 41[00:01:25]

And it was there that I first suspected[00:01:30]

That she was doing what she'd already done[00:01:35]

She said johnny won't you get me some popcorn[00:01:43]

And she knew I had to walk pretty far[00:01:48]

And as soon as I passed through the moonlight[00:01:53]

She hopped into a foreign sports car[00:01:58]

I used to sleep at the foot of old glory[00:02:04]

And awake in the dawn's early light[00:02:09]

But much to my surprise when I opened my eyes[00:02:14]

I was a victim of the great compromise[00:02:19]

Well you know I could have beat up that fellow[00:02:32]

But it was her that had hopped into his car[00:02:37]

And many times I'd fought to protect her[00:02:43]

But this time she was goin' too far[00:02:48]

Now some folks they call me a coward[00:02:56]

'Cause I left her at the driving that night[00:03:01]

But I'd rather have names thrown at me[00:03:06]

Than to fight for a thing that ain't right[00:03:11]

I used to sleep at the foot of old glory[00:03:16]

And awake in the dawn's early light[00:03:21]

But much to my surprise when I opened my eyes[00:03:26]

I was a victim of the great compromise[00:03:32]

Well she writes all the fellows love letters[00:03:45]

Saying greetings come and see me real soon[00:03:50]

And they go and line up in the barroom[00:03:55]

And spend the night in that sick woman's room[00:04:00]

But sometimes I get awful lonesome[00:04:08]

And I wish she was my girl instead[00:04:13]

But she won't let me live with her[00:04:19]

And she makes me live in my head[00:04:24]

I used to sleep at the foot of old glory[00:04:29]

And awake in the dawn's early light[00:04:34]

But much to my surprise when I opened my eyes[00:04:39]

I was a victim of the great compromise[00:04:44]
