歌曲名 Best For The Best

歌手名 Josh Ritter

Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times

She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes

Now she＇s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind

And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind

I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand

They say working＇s best cause poverty is hell on a man

Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan

And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned

I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain

She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames

When the boiler blew some people started naming names

But if the best is for the best

I guess the best is to blame

I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown

A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns

But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down

They say the best is for the best but that＇s not what I＇ve found

Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst

I don＇t spend time listening to other people＇s words

Sometimes they＇re right most times the reverse

They say the best is for the best when the best＇s for the worse

Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times

She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes

Now she＇s gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind

And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
