The Cowboy Who Started The Fight - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]
Written by:Billy Joe Shaver[00:00:01]
The legs on the lady a walking[00:00:10]
Was tanned to a dark berry brown[00:00:14]
Her body was made like a song to be played[00:00:18]
To the tune of a million a pound[00:00:22]
She was a wonder of a woman I reckon[00:00:27]
And she's who screwed her head on right[00:00:31]
The toast of the world was a long legged girl[00:00:36]
And the cowboy who started the fight[00:00:40]
He'd just pulled into town in an[00:00:45]
Old green 1953 chevrlet pickup truck with[00:00:47]
Whiskey bumbs all over it and the right front fender falling off[00:00:51]
He coasted on into a no parking zone got out and took the[00:00:56]
Keys and chucked them down[00:00:59]
A gutter turned around and just walked off[00:01:00]
He allowed how his time had been wasted[00:01:06]
On drinking and running around[00:01:11]
He spend half his life searching barrooms at night[00:01:15]
For the sweetheart that he never found[00:01:20]
It was plain from the moment their eyes met[00:01:24]
They'd wind up in each others arms[00:01:29]
The lady's young life was laid open that night[00:01:33]
And the cowboy drank deep from of her charms[00:01:37]
Singing hey hide he from the depths of the sea[00:01:42]
To the mountains so hollering high[00:01:46]
I've found the best one under god's given sun[00:01:50]
Yeah the cowboy got lucky tonight[00:01:55]
While the angel beside him lay sleeping[00:02:01]
He silently thanked god above[00:02:06]
For being a kind hear ted father[00:02:10]
And blessing his life with her love[00:02:14]
For one night of love with that woman[00:02:19]
Was more than he knew he deserved[00:02:23]
So he found all he had left worth giving[00:02:27]
And he gave all he had left for her[00:02:32]
He slid back inside his ole Levi's[00:02:38]
And filled up his boots with his feet[00:02:43]
While the subways beneath New York city[00:02:47]
Screamed through the veins of the street[00:02:52]
For the lady gave up without question[00:02:56]
The trophy she saved all her life[00:03:00]
Then she curled up beside[00:03:04]
His old weather worn hide[00:03:06]
And the cowboy just laid down and died[00:03:09]
Hey hide he when a whoop through the street[00:03:14]
As his soul slowly winged out of sight[00:03:18]
The lady was torn from the child being born[00:03:22]
And the cowboy found heaven that night[00:03:26]
The lady was torn from the child being born[00:03:31]
And the cowboy found heaven that night[00:03:35]
