Summer Wages (LP版) - Nanci Griffith (南西·葛瑞芬)[00:00:00]
Never hit seventeen[00:00:17]
When you play against the dealer[00:00:22]
You know that the odds[00:00:26]
Won't ride with you[00:00:29]
And never leave your woman alone[00:00:33]
With your friends around to steal her[00:00:37]
She'll be gambled and gone[00:00:41]
Like summer wages[00:00:44]
And we'll keep rollin' on[00:00:50]
'Til we get to vancouver[00:00:54]
And the woman that I love[00:00:58]
She's living there[00:01:01]
It's been six long months[00:01:05]
And more since I've seen her[00:01:09]
Years have gambled and gone[00:01:13]
Like summer wages[00:01:16]
In all the beer parlors[00:01:23]
All down along main street[00:01:27]
The dreams of the seasons[00:01:30]
Get all spilled down on the floor[00:01:34]
All the big stands of timber[00:01:38]
Just waiting for the falling[00:01:42]
And the hookers stand and watchfully[00:01:46]
Waiting by the door[00:01:50]
So I'll work on the towboats[00:01:55]
With my slippery city shoes[00:01:59]
Which I swore I would never do again[00:02:02]
Through the the gray fog bound straits[00:02:10]
Where the cedars stand watching[00:02:14]
I'll be far off and gone[00:02:18]
Like summer wages[00:02:21]
In all the beer parlors[00:02:44]
All down along main street[00:02:48]
The dreams of the seasons[00:02:52]
Get all spilled down on the floor[00:02:56]
All the big stands of timber[00:03:00]
Just waiting for the falling[00:03:03]
And the hookers stand and watchfully[00:03:07]
Waiting by the door[00:03:11]
Never hit seventeen[00:03:16]
When you play against the dealer[00:03:20]
You know that the odds[00:03:24]
Won't ride with you[00:03:27]
And never leave your woman alone[00:03:31]
With your friends around to steal her[00:03:36]
She'll be gambled and gone[00:03:39]
Like summer wages[00:03:43]
And the years are gambled and lost[00:03:48]
Like summer wages[00:03:52]
