Iron Road - Old 97's/Waylon Jennings (维隆·杰宁斯)[00:00:00]
Hundred lists of reasons I keep around[00:00:13]
Why I never had a family[00:00:18]
Why I never settle down[00:00:20]
Why I'd sooner in the mirror see a hobo looking low[00:00:22]
But the reasons now escape me as I walk the iron road[00:00:28]
Like a lot of kids I left my boyhood home[00:00:34]
Worked a little on the railroad[00:00:39]
Worked a little traveling on[00:00:42]
Till the closest that I ever got[00:00:45]
To an address or a phone[00:00:47]
Was the day I spent my last two bits[00:00:50]
On a one page letter home[00:00:52]
At 21 my arches lay down flat[00:00:56]
22 I started taking loans[00:01:02]
But if the train will come[00:01:07]
I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones[00:01:08]
I'll curse the wheels that roll me[00:01:12]
Roll me down that iron road[00:01:14]
Iron road iron road you'll never give up the gold[00:01:39]
I spent 24 hours today looking back and feeling low[00:01:49]
24 hours of looking back can kill you I've been told[00:01:55]
At 60 my dad left that boyhood town[00:02:01]
Within a year my mother followed him to higher ground[00:02:07]
I'll be the next to join them soon[00:02:12]
As I see that engine roll[00:02:14]
Gonna lay my head on the railroad bed[00:02:21]
And leave that iron road[00:02:24]
Gonna lay my head on the railroad bed[00:02:27]
And leave that iron road[00:02:29]
At 21 my arches lay down flat[00:02:33]
22 I started taking loans[00:02:39]
But if the train will come[00:02:44]
I'll wipe the box car dirt from off my bones[00:02:45]
I'll curse the wheels that roll me[00:02:49]
Roll me down that iron road[00:02:51]
I'll curse the wheels that roll me[00:02:56]
Roll me down that iron road[00:03:01]
