Текст песни: Ain't Living + перевод

Who shot Sally in the back of the trunk

A little white lightning and a change of luck

Sixty mason jars and a 6-foot bed

Mama needs a dress and the kids need fed

Fifty seven miles down Red Fern Road

Ain’t nothing but me and the Lord above

Thinking ‘bout daddy when he caught black lung

Left his wife and kids and everything he loves

I ain’t living like that

I ain’t living like that

No I ain’t livin'

Daddy died cold in a hospital bed

His last words to me was «keep your family fed

And don’t go to work in Mr. Crawford’s mines

Do what you gotta do, son, there ain’t much time»

Well I never hit a man that didn’t earn his blow

And I never took nothing that I didn’t work for

But I gotta do something ‘fore the banker man comes

He’ll show no mercy and I won’t ask for none

I ain’t living like that

I ain’t living like that

No I ain’t livin'

Well the carpenter’s son knows a thing or two

About how to make money and how to pay your dues

We made a little business at a moonshine still

And when the banker man comes I’m going to pay his bill

There’s a big long Chrysler coming down the road

The banker man coming to collect his dough

But my lever action rifle’s got a different tone

Gonna to put the banker down six feet in the hole

I ain’t living like that

I ain’t living like that

No I ain’t livin'
