Guy Clark - Let Him Roll

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
Now he was a wino tried and true

Done about everything there is to do

He worked on freighters and he worked in bars

He worked on farms and he worked on cars



Well it was white port wine that put that look in his eyes

Grown men get when they need to cry

We sat down on the curb to rest

His head just fell down on his chest



He says, "Every single day it gets just

A little bit harder to handle and yet"

Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered

And the words just rolled off down the gutter



Well he was an elevator man in a cheap hotel

In exchange for the rent on a one room cell

And he was old years beyond his time

No thanks to the world and the white port wine



So he said, "Son", he always called me son

He said, "Life for you has just begun"

Then he told me the story I'd heard before

How he fell in love with a Dallas whore



Now he could cut through the years to the very night

That it ended in a whorehouse fight

When she turned his last proposal down

In favor of bein' a girl about town



Now it's been seventeen years right in line

And he ain't been straightened none of the time

It's too many days of fightin' the weather

And too many nights of not bein' together

So he died



When they went through his personal effects

And among the stubs from a welfare checks

Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door

And in a dress in Dallas and nothing more



The welfare people provided the Priest

The couple from the mission down the street

Sang 'Amazing grace' and no one cried

Except some lady in black way off to the side



We all left and she was standin' there

The black veil coverin' her silver hair

Ol' one-eyed John said, "Her name was Alice

She used to be a whore in Dallas"



So let him roll, Lord let him roll

I bet he's gone to Dallas to rest his soul

Just you let him roll, Lord let him roar

He always said that Heaven was just a Dallas whore

Just you let him roll, Lord let him roll

I bet he's gone to Dallas to rest his soul
