Live Oak歌詞

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Jason Isbell
[00:00.67]There's a man who walks beside me
[00:06.61]It is who I used to be
[00:10.38]And I wonder if she sees him
[00:13.20]and confuses him with me
[00:14.64]And I wonder who she's pinin' for
[00:16.40]on nights I'm not around
[00:18.08]Could it be the man who did the things
[00:21.28]I'm living now
[00:23.67]
[00:26.99]I was rougher than a timber
[00:29.25]shippin' out of Fond du Lac
[00:31.14]
[00:31.71]When I headed south at 17
[00:33.84]ol' sheriff on my back
[00:36.59]
[00:37.55]I never held a lover in my arms
[00:40.30]or in my gaze
[00:42.74]So I found another victim every couple days
[00:46.75]But the night I fell in love with her
[00:53.98]I made my weakness known
[00:55.98]
[00:56.72]Through the fires and
[00:57.80]the farmers diggin' dusty fields alone
[01:01.13]
[01:02.50]The jealous innuendos of the lonely hearted men
[01:06.85]Let me know what kind of country
[01:09.35]I was sleeping in
[01:13.42]
[01:18.05]Well you couldn't stay a loner
[01:20.63]
[01:21.56]on the plains before the war
[01:23.20]My neighbors took to slightin' me
[01:24.97]I had to ask what for
[01:27.21]Rumors of my wickedness had reached
[01:29.52]our little town
[01:31.84]Soon she'd heard about the boys
[01:34.40]I used to hang around
[01:37.08]
[01:41.52]We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter
[01:43.84]killed a couple men or more
[01:46.04]And I told her her eyes flickered like
[01:48.92]the sharp steel of a sword
[01:51.41]All the things that she'd suspected
[01:53.84]I'd expected her to fear
[01:55.78]
[01:56.34]Was the truth that drew her to me
[01:59.58]when I landed here
[02:01.39]
[02:05.13]There's a man who walks beside me
[02:07.51]he is who I used to be
[02:10.75]And I wonder if she sees him and confuses
[02:14.19]him with me
[02:15.95]And I wonder who she's pinin' for
[02:18.95]on nights I'm not around
[02:21.03]Could it be the man who did the things
[02:24.52]I'm living down
[02:26.40]
[02:54.45]Well I carved a cross from live oak
[02:57.44]and a box from shortleaf pine
[02:59.62]
[03:00.25]Buried her so deep
[03:01.81]she touched the water table line
[03:04.45]
[03:05.76]I picked up what I needed
[03:07.57]and I headed south again
[03:09.56]
[03:10.44]To myself I wondered
[03:11.62]would I find another friend
[03:15.18]
[03:18.68]There's a man who walks beside her
[03:21.00]it is who I used to be
[03:23.81]And I wonder if she sees him and confuses
[03:27.61]him with me
