American Remains (美国依然是) - Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)/Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)/Willie Nelson (威利·纳尔逊)/Kris Kristofferson (克里斯·克里斯托佛森)[00:00:00]

I am a shotgun rider for the San Jacinto line[00:00:09]

The desert is my brother [00:00:14]

My skin is cracked and dry[00:00:16]

I was riding on a folk coach [00:00:19]

And everything was fine[00:00:21]

Till we took a shorter road to save some time[00:00:23]

The bandits only fired once [00:00:28]

They shot me in the chest[00:00:30]

They may have wounded me [00:00:33]

But they'll never get the best of better men[00:00:35]

'Cause I'll ride again[00:00:42]

I am a river gambler[00:00:47]

I make a living dealing cards[00:00:49]

My clothes are smoothed and honest [00:00:52]

My heart is cold and hard[00:00:54]

I was shuffling for some delta boys[00:00:56]

On a boat for New Orleans[00:00:59]

I was the greatest sharp they'd ever seen[00:01:01]

But the captain bumped a sandbar [00:01:06]

And an ace fell from my sleeve[00:01:08]

They threw me overboard[00:01:11]

As I swore I didn't cheat [00:01:13]

But I could swim[00:01:16]

And I'll ride again[00:01:20]

We are heroes of the homeland [00:01:26]

American remains[00:01:28]

We live in many places [00:01:31]

And answer many names[00:01:33]

We will not be forgotten [00:01:35]

We won't be left behind[00:01:37]

Our memories live on[00:01:40]

In mortal minds[00:01:42]

And poets pens[00:01:46]

We'll ride again[00:01:51]

I am a midwest farmer[00:01:56]

I make a living off the land[00:01:59]

I ride a John Deere tractor [00:02:01]

I'm a liberated man[00:02:03]

But the rain it hasn't fallen[00:02:06]

Since the middle of July[00:02:08]

And if it don't come soon [00:02:11]

My crops will die[00:02:12]

The bankman says he likes me [00:02:15]

But there's nothing he can do[00:02:17]

He tells me that he's coming [00:02:20]

But the clouds are coming too [00:02:22]

He ain't my friend[00:02:25]

And I'll ride agin[00:02:30]

I am an American Indian[00:02:35]

My tribe is Cherokee[00:02:37]

My forefathers loved this land[00:02:40]

They left it here for me[00:02:42]

But the white men came with boats[00:02:45]

And trains and dirty factories[00:02:46]

Poisoned my existence with his deeds[00:02:50]

Nature is our mother [00:02:54]

We are suckling her breast[00:02:56]

He who tries to beater down will lose her to the rest [00:02:59]

They'll never win[00:03:04]

I'll ride again[00:03:09]

We are heroes of the homeland [00:03:14]

American remains[00:03:16]

We live in many places [00:03:19]

And answer many names[00:03:21]

We will not be forgotten [00:03:23]

We won't be left behind[00:03:26]

Our memories live on[00:03:28]

In mortal minds[00:03:30]

And poets pens[00:03:35]

We'll ride again[00:03:39]
