歌词
Old Coyote Town - Don Williams
作曲:Larry Boone/Paul Nelson/Gene Nelson
He's got a you us
flag on his front porch
To remind everyone where he lives
And up in the attic
There are papers that prove
The old house is finally his
After thirty five years
The grass still don't grow
In that rock hard West Texas ground
Where my old dad still clings
To that old coyote town
Like horses the pick ups are
Parked out in front
Of a cafe that don't need a name
Where the old men rock
And the tumbleweeds roll
Past the boarded up
windows down main
Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign
At the drive in
where my innocence died
With a rusty advertisement
dangling by a nail
Says popcorn and pepsi for a dime
And down at the depot
where I left for good
There's a hobo with
his three legged hound
Waitin' for a train
that no longer comes
To that old coyote town
And the interstate rumbles
like a river that runs
To a rythm that don't ever slow down
As cars and trucks and time pass by
That old coyote town
Daddy fall's asleep in the living room
On the sofa with the TV on
Sometimes he waits for
a phone call from me
Sometimes he waits too long
But I still think of the people and
The place that he loves
How much longer will they be around
'Til it's ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
For that old coyote town
Like horses the pick ups
are parked out in front
Of a cafe that don't need a name
Where the old men rock
And the tumbleweeds roll
Past the boarded up
windows down main
And the interstate rumbles
like a river that runs
To a rythm
that don't ever slow down
As cars and trucks and time pass by
That old coyote town
Got godbless that old coyote town
