Текст песни: The Prophet + перевод

Sometimes I miss my pappy

Sometimes I miss my ma

I been livin' out here mid 20 years

Where the desert meets the draw

There ain’t no drink to speak of

Just dust and dirt and death

And the fire at night from the sky is bright

Sometimes it hurts my chest, yeah

And the kid I hung around the town

I’m gonna chase him down

But I got fed up with the local law

So we on out of there

Then I went to work in the mines at night

the devil got in my lungs

So I hit the road with a dancin' toad

Singin' country music songs, yee haw

About that time I lost my mind

I’d more likely love my

When I found that

A’dancin' with my girlfriend in my bed

So I hopped a train in the pourin' rain

But it was headed off the rail

You know we made the news, but I lost my shoes

And everybody else went to jail, c’mon

Well I wandered through the mountains

And I wandered through the hills

I wound up in the desert, boy

Where the lonesome outlaw kills

I thought at first that I’d died of thirst

As I lay there in the sand

Then a voice it came, it was soft as rain

Then lightnin' struck the land, blammo

Now, my beard is wicked, child

My work here even worse

I wear the pails of a thousand ails

And I walk all through the Earth

My message, it is simple, boy

I’ll tell you in a song

Like fire and ice, yeah, the world is nice

But it doesn’t last very long, c’mon

Sometimes I miss my pappy

Sometimes I miss my ma

I been livin' out here mid 20 years

Where the desert meets the draw

Naw, there ain’t no drink to speak of

Just dust and dirt and death

And the fire at night from the sky is bright

Sometimes it hurts my chest, yes
