Texas, 1947(Guy Clark演唱的歌曲)

歌曲歌詞

Now bein' six years old,

I had seen some trains before, so it's hard to figure out what

I'm at the depot for.

Trains are big and black and smokin' - steam screamin' at the wheels, bigger than anything they is, at least that's the way she feels

Trains are big and black and smokin', louder'n

July four, but everybody's actin' like this might be somethin' more. . . . . .than just pickin' up the mail, or the soldiers from the war.

This is somethin' that even old man

Wileman never seen before.

And it's late afternoon on a hot

Texas day. somethin' strange is goin' on, and we's all in the way.

Well there's fifty or sixty people they're just sittin' on their cars, and the old men left their dominos and they come down from the bars.

Everybody's checkin', old

Jack Kittrel check his watch, and us kids put our ears to the rails to hear 'em pop.

So we already knowed it, when they finally said 'train time' you'd a-thought that

Jesus Christ his-self was rollin' down the line. '

Cause things got real quiet, momma jerked me back,

But not before

I'd got the chance to lay a nickel on the track.

Chorus Look out here she comes, she's comin',

Look out there she goes, she's gone, screamin' straight through
