Rock Back Billy - John Hiatt (约翰·亥特)[00:00:00]

Get a load of that guy[00:00:24]

With the dew rag on[00:00:26]

And the cowboy tie[00:00:29]

Man that cat is gone[00:00:32]

Form Memphis to Nashville[00:00:35]

Then way out west[00:00:38]

Put that Hollywood party[00:00:40]

To the acid test[00:00:43]

Got a little bungalow[00:00:46]

In the valley somewhere[00:00:47]

Took a gig playin' bass[00:00:49]

With Sonny and Cher[00:00:50]

He took it on his chin[00:00:52]

And never got it off his chest[00:00:53]

He wouldn't be caught[00:00:55]

Dead wearin' that vest[00:00:57]

Not rock back Billy[00:01:00]

Oh rock back Billy[00:01:03]

He came to make a stew[00:01:09]

With that swamp guitar[00:01:12]

He kept it lonesome and blue[00:01:14]

Yeah in the trunk of his car[00:01:17]

But no one gave him a long shot[00:01:20]

Though he never did doubt[00:01:23]

What it was not[00:01:26]

Or what it was all about [00:01:29]

He got all tangled up[00:01:32]

With liquor and drugs[00:01:33]

Tryin' to make a racket[00:01:35]

Like those English mugs[00:01:36]

Till he couldn't get arrested[00:01:38]

And he couldn't see straight[00:01:39]

He couldn't even shine shoes[00:01:40]

In that Golden State[00:01:42]

Not rock back Billy[00:01:45]

Come on rock back Billy[00:01:48]

When you see him on the street[00:01:55]

Well he's no spring chicken[00:01:59]

But ask him how he makes ends meet[00:02:07]

He'll tell you "I'm still pickin'"[00:02:11]

Aw rock it Billy rock it[00:02:14]

Yeah they counted him down[00:02:25]

When they dropped that beat[00:02:28]

But that red hot sound[00:02:31]

They could not defeat[00:02:33]

It started comin' back from Boston[00:02:37]

From East L A [00:02:40]

Down in Austin Texas[00:02:42]

And up New York way[00:02:45]

And as long as there's a kid[00:02:48]

In a room somewhere[00:02:50]

With a beat up guitar[00:02:51]

And some funny lookin' hair[00:02:52]

Well it might be Billy's kid[00:02:54]

You don't know[00:02:55]

And all I've got to say is[00:02:57]

Go cat go[00:03:00]

Come on rock back Billy[00:03:03]

Come on rock back Billy[00:03:06]

Rock back Billy[00:03:09]

Come on rock back Billy[00:03:36]
