Water From The Wells Of Home

Johnny Cash( 強尼凱許 ) Water From The Wells Of Home歌詞
1.Ballad Of A Teenage Queen

There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you(How those eyes could flash at
you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever
seen)

She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen(Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out(Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town(But she missed her old home
town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)

Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train(Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store

(Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy
store)


2.As Long As I Live


3.Where Did We Go Right

In a world where everybody's fallin' apart
One by one, heart by heart
You and I stay together and we never even try
Side by side in a world turned upside down

Our love keeps spinnin' around
And you know it makes me wonder
As a restaurant for their lives
Where did we go right?
Where did we go right?

At a time when all the world is searchin' for truth
His love for you will even prove
And what we have is what everybody's tryin' to find
Peace of mind in a world turned upside down

Our love keeps spinnin' around
And you know it makes me wonder
As a restaurant for their lives
Where did we go right?
Where did we go right?

So many wrongs, so many lovers
I wish they all could know
What we've found in one another

In a world turned upside down
Our love keep spinnin' around
And you know it makes me wonder
As a restaurant for their lives
Where did we go right?
Where did we go right?
Where did we go right?


4.The Last Of The Drifters

I'm the last of the babies of the world war 2
World war 2 and that's the one we didn't lose i heard that
I was raised on biscuits spam and powdered eggs
Dimaggio's baseball and marilyn's legs

And i'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters yeah

I remember when the great train they used to run on coal
And they would run on coal and i would be ready to go me too
Old white shirt and a tired overall
Sometime i think my daddy knew it all

And i'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters yeah

I remember louisiana in a hot steamy night
Hot steamy night and she was holding me tight
An old red chevy with a big back seat
I had me some two tall shoes off my feet

Okay i'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters yeah

I'm a world war baby holding mama's hand
Mama's hand and how my daddy knew the land
Truck bearin' music and poverty and wealth
I got some great big scars on myself

Now i'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters yeah

I'm the last tie roller with the last good hand
Last good hand and i'm a gambling man
All them bombs and people wakin' on that boom
Sometimes i reckon i got here too soon

I'm the last of the drifters
I'm the last of the drifters yeah
I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters

7.Sweeter Than The Flowers


8.A Croft In Clachan(The Ballad Of Rob MacDunn)


9.New Moon Over Jamaica

There's a new moon over Jamaica
And the new year just got here you see
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And I'm living with an old memory

So won't you come back to Jamaica?
You know it isn't so far
Look up in the sky where you left me that night
I'll be standing right under that star

There's a new moon over Jamaica
And the new year just got here you see
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And I'm living with an old memory

I said good evening to Venus
She said good evening too
Out there somewhere you know I could swear
She sent a message of true love from you

There's a new moon over Jamaica
And the new year just got here you see
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And I'm living with an old memory

A new moon makes someone feel happy
A new moon makes someone lovesick
I'm thinking of you but what can I do?
New moons and new years and old love's don't mix

There's a new moon over Jamaica
And the new year just got here you see
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And I'm living with an old memory

Just the new year a new moon and me


10.Water From The Wells Of Home

There's a stool along the road to freedom
Like a gypsy in a guilty cage
But rising has not always been bright
Destiny dreams are made

My days all run together
Like a timeless honeycomb
I find myself wishing I could drink again
Water from the wells of home
Water from the wells of home
Water from the wells of home

I've seen all your shining cities
Lean against the yellow sky
I've seen the down and I'll get better
I've seen many of strong men die

Well the troubled hearts in the worried men
Things that I've been showed
Keep me always returning to
Water from the wells of home
Water from the wells of home
Water from the wells of home

I want to come back some day
To the water from the wells of home
Lord take me back someday
To the water from the wells of home

I want to come back some day
To the water from the wells of home
I want to come back some day
To the water from the wells of home
Lord take me back someday
