歌曲名 King's Highway(Album Version)

歌手名 Joe Henry

I might just change my mind

Sometimes you can never tell

Where a story will unwind

Or how deep is a shallow well

Sometimes you would never guess

Who's all talk and who just might

Find their way or lose themselves

On the King's Highway tonight

I am just like many more

Who lie in bed still and numb

Awake enough that I can see

Just how dark it has become

Who knows no better angels now

Who's known none but an earthly light

And who is waiting for a stranger

On the King's Highway tonight

It wasn't how I had it planned

When it finally came around

I took a man with my own hands

But I held him close when he went down

He hadn't time to be afraid

His look was only of surprise

Staring up where he lay

On the King's Highway tonight

I took the little that he had

Only as an afterthought

He wouldn't have to feel so bad

To think I'd killed him just because

He was passing through this town

And only 'cause he looked about right

And he stopped when I flagged him down

On the King s Highway tonight

I might just change my mind

Sometimes you can never tell
