In My Next Life - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]
The blood red sun beat down and baked the red clay ground[00:00:14]
Dust kicked up around his John Deere wheels[00:00:21]
No trace of rain in sight again he'll lose the fight[00:00:27]
And have to watch his crops die in the fields[00:00:34]
They stood there both in tears his wife of many years[00:00:42]
Said John "You know I hate to lose our farm"[00:00:48]
He looked into her eyes then looked up at the skies[00:00:55]
And told her as he held her in his arms[00:01:02]
"In my next life I want to be your hero[00:01:08]
Somethin' better than I turned out to be[00:01:15]
I've lived this life behind the plough and harrow[00:01:22]
In my next life I'll make you proud of me"[00:01:29]
The muscles in his arms just like his run down farm[00:01:43]
Soon withered up and slowly disappeared[00:01:50]
One hard workin' man two hard workin' hands[00:01:58]
Were givin' up after all these years[00:02:04]
His aging eyes grew dim and the lady that worshiped him[00:02:12]
Sat cryin' on a chair beside his bed[00:02:18]
Her hands caressed his brow and she said it's alright now[00:02:25]
And as he slowly slipped away he said[00:02:32]
"In my next life I want to be your hero[00:02:38]
Somethin' better than I turned out to be[00:02:45]
I've lived this life behind the plough and harrow[00:02:52]
In my next life I'll make you proud of me"[00:02:59]
"In my next life I want to be your hero[00:03:06]
Somethin' better than I turned out to be[00:03:13]
I've lived this life behind the plough and harrow[00:03:20]
In my next life I'll make you proud of me[00:03:27]
In my next life I'll make you proud of me"[00:03:34]
