This Old Town
作词:Janis Ian, Jon Vezner
This old town should've burned down in 1929 That's when we stood in line Waiting for our soup Swallowing our pride
This old town should've burn down in 1931 When the rain refused to come Air filled up our bellies, dust filled up our lungs And we thought our time had come
This old town was built by hand In the dust bowl of the motherland There must be rock beneath this sand Oh' I'll be damned, this town still stands
This old town should've burned down in 1944 When the last men went to war They came back different If they came back at all
This old town should've burned down in 1956 That's when the twister hit And all our hopes were buried 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 Beneath the boards and bricks And we almost called it quits
This old town was built by hand In the dust bowl of the motherland There must be rock beneath this sand Oh' I'll be damned, this town still stands
Somewhere in the distance The city lights do shine The sidewalks gleam with neon dreams That call from time to time
When my children's children Ask me why didn't I go They say the heart of any town Is the people that you've known They'll always call you home
This old town was built by hand In the dust bowl of the motherland There must be rock beneath this sand Oh I'll be damned, this town still stands
