- Rodney Crowell Telephone Road 歌词
- Rodney Crowell
- Rain came down in endless sheets of thunder
Lightning bolts split pine trees down to the roots
In the shadow of the
AstrodomeWith a hurricane coming on strong
We used to hit the streets and go swimming in our birthday suits
Skiing in a bar ditch behind a moped13 stitches on the corner of a sardine can
We were dirt poor
Houston kids
Our whole family living on the skids
But we always had a nickel for the coming of the ice cream man
Mosquito truck blowing up
DDTBarefoot heathens running wild and free
Air raid buzzer at a noon-day scream
Living in a dream
On Telephone
RoadI used to love them cherry
Cokes down at the
Prince's Drive-
Inand the cheeseburgers tasted so good
I like to come untied
There's a
Chinaberry tree
I remember
I used to climb in and out of my window
The night
I left was on the day before my
Grandma died
Sawdust spread out on a dance hall floor
Jukebox ripping at an all-out roar
Barmaid smiling at a 10 cent tip
Living is a trip
On Telephone
RoadMagnolia
Garden bandstand on the very front row
Johnny Cash
Carl Perkins and
The Killer putting on a show6 years old and just barely off my daddy's knee
When those rockabilly rebels
Sent the Devil running right through me
A drive-in movie in the trunk of my car
One-eyed sailor in an ice house bar
Spit-shine
Charlie and ol'
Peg-leg Bill
Are dressed up fit to kill
On Telephone
RoadTelephone
Road, Telephone
RoadBrabecue and beer on ice
A salty watermelon slice
At the Little
Taste of Paradise
On Telephone
Road
