I Tried Going West-Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00.000] 作词 : CARPENTER, MARY [00:01.000] 作曲 : MARY CARPENTER [00:12.09]I tried going west where the sky meets the sun [00:18.01]Where the edge of the world's always been [00:21.19] [00:23.38]As far from this place as a girl gets to run [00:27.00] [00:28.13]When her reasons to stay have worn thin [00:31.63] [00:33.75]Out there the days were so bright and so blue [00:37.32]Yet I missed all my thunder and rain [00:40.38] [00:42.44]The way a storm punctures a hot afternoon [00:46.31] [00:48.25]Washing away every stain [00:50.63] [01:03.81]When my maps pointed north they were calling for snow [01:07.44] [01:09.25]To cover all sound and all sight [01:12.37] [01:13.44]Tell me where on this earth does all that noise go [01:18.26] [01:20.07]Underneath all of that white [01:23.26] [01:24.57]With thaws scarcely mentioned I dug out my truck [01:29.57]By the time the storm cleared I was gone [01:33.94]Back on the road with the radio up [01:37.11] [01:40.23]Singing at the top of my lungs [01:42.48] [02:06.10]Driving and crying and driving some more [02:11.54]Oh the south is a good place to hide [02:16.31]Hot nights, cold beer and creaky screen doors [02:21.18] [02:21.69]And a motel's vacancy sign [02:24.12] [02:26.31]A letter a day I wrote back home to you [02:31.63]But not one you ever received [02:34.13] [02:35.94]Because I can't stand a man who lies like you do [02:40.44] [02:41.44]And I can't bear a woman who pleads [02:44.45] [03:06.38]One day it dawned I had run out of road [03:11.83] [03:13.70]And out of reasons to run [03:16.26]Like a horse to the barn I was hell bent to go [03:21.58] [03:22.46]As fast going back as I'd come [03:24.95] [03:27.39]Home, home was the song that I sang [03:32.33] [03:33.33]As I pulled in just before dark [03:35.70] [03:36.51]There was only a hook where your coat used to hang [03:40.39] [03:42.58]That's where I hung up my heart [03:45.14] [03:57.39]I tried going west, where the sky meets the sun
