American Roulette(Album Version) - Robbie Robertson

作词：Robbie Robertson

作曲：Robbie Robertson

He was born in the belly of the country

Over east of Eden yeah

Confused by the big city blues

He didn't know whose life he's leading no

Put yourself behind the wheel

And see if you can get that feel oh

Move faster by night and

Move faster by night

The windows were all shattered

And the body was all battered

American Roulette

Stake your life upon it

American Roulette

Same eyes same eyes

American Roulette

Take that boy and put him in a mansion

Paint the windows black

Give him all the women that he wants

Put a monkey on his back

All of your so called friends

Take you where the sidewalk ends that's it

Can't sleep at night no

Can't sleep at night

Lord please save his soul

He was the king of Rock and Roll

American Roulette

Stake your life upon it

American Roulette

Same eyes same eyes

American Roulette

They said she didn't have a chance in hell

For the American Dream

There's a thousand young blonds out there

Trying to make it to the silver screen

But she had the walk the look the talk

That shook the world just read about it

Some like it hot boy

But some like it cool

Too much for her to handle

Another scandal she burnt the candle

American Roulette

Stake your life upon it

American Roulette

Same eyes same eyes

American Roulette

Oh say a prayer for the lost generation

Who spin the wheel out of desperation

American Roulette

Stake your life upon it

American Roulette

Same eyes same eyes

American Roulette

American Roulette

Stake your life upon it

American Roulette
