[00:00.00] 作词 : Tom Waits [00:01.00] 作曲 : Tom Waits [00:16.32] Big Joe And Phantom 309 [00:16.77] See, I just happened to be back on the East coast a few years back [00:27.84] I was tryin' to make me a buck like everybody else [00:31.68] I'll be damned if times didn't get hard, and Christ I got down on my luck [00:38.43] And I got tired of just roamin' and bummin' around [00:40.68] So I started thumbin' my way back to my old hometown [00:45.99] And you know, I made quite a few miles in the first couple of days [00:54.72] You know, I figured I'd be home in a week if my luck held out this way [01:01.92] You know, it was the third night, oh and I got stranded [01:05.40] And it was out at a cold lonely crossroads [01:08.64] And as the rain came pouring down, man I was hungry [01:12.15] Yeah, I was hungry, tired and freezin', caught myself a chill [01:15.45] But it was just about that time [01:16.20] Yeah, it was just about that time that the lights of an ol' semi topped the hill [01:24.09] You should've seen me smile when I heard them air brakes come on [01:26.79] Yeah, and I climbed up into that cab where I knew it'd be warm [01:31.17] At the wheel... well, at the wheel sat a big man [01:38.79] And I'd have to say he must've weighed two ten [01:42.93] As he stuck out a big hand and he said with a grin [01:45.36] 'Big Joe's the name, and this here rig's called Phantom 309' [01:51.81] Well, I asked him why he called his rig such a name [01:57.72] And you know, he turned to me and said ' [01:59.82] Why son, don't you know this here rig'll be puttin' 'em all to shame [02:04.62] Nah, there ain't a driver [02:06.54] No, there ain't a driver on this or any other line for that matter that... [02:09.99] That's seen nothin' but the taillights of Big Joe and Phantom 309' [02:12.27] So we rode and we talked the better part of the night [02:13.44] And I told my stories and Joe told his [02:17.88] And I smoked up all his Viceroys as we rolled along [02:19.32] Pushed her ahead with 10 forward gears [02:20.34] Man, that dashboard was lit like the old Madam La Rue pinball [02:22.95] Serious semi truck [02:23.37] Till almost mysteriously... [02:25.80] Well, it was the lights of a truck stop that rolled into sight [02:30.66] Joe turned to me, said 'I'm sorry son, but I'm afraid this is just as far as you go, you see... [02:37.02] You see, I kinda gotta be makin' a turn just up the road a piece' [02:42.63] I'll be damned if he didn't toss me a dime as he threw her in low and said [02:45.33] 'Go on in there son, and get yourself a hot cup of coffee on Big Joe' [02:48.99] I mean to tell you, when Joe and his rig pulled off into the night [02:55.95] Man, in nothing flat they was clean outta sight [02:58.83] So I walked into this stop, well I ordered me up a cup of mud, [03:05.13] sayin' 'Big Joe's settin' this dude up', [03:07.44] but it got so deadly quiet in that place [03:09.30] Yeah, it got so deadly quiet in that place, you could've heard a pin drop [03:13.65] And as the waiter's face turned kinda pale I said, [03:18.60] 'What's the matter, did I say somethin' wrong?' [03:20.52] I kinda said with a half way grin [03:23.64] He said, 'No son, you see it'll kinda happen every now and then [03:26.34] Cause every driver in here knows Big Joe, son, but... [03:32.67] But let me tell you what happened just 10 years ago out there [03:34.62] Yeah, it was 10 years ago, out there at that cold lonely crossroads [03:41.49] And there was a whole bus load of kids [03:42.84] And then they were just comin' from school [03:45.66] And they were right in the middle when Joe topped the hill and... [03:49.53] They could've been slaughtered except Joe turned his wheels [03:52.08] And he jacknifed, yeah he jacknifed, and he went into a skid [03:55.38] And you know, folks around here, well... [03:56.04] They say he gave his life to save that bunch of kids [04:02.70] And out there at that cold lonely crossroads [04:04.50] Well, they're saying it was the end of the line for Big Joe and Phantom 309 [04:07.38] 'But it's funny you know, cause... cause every now and then [04:13.98] Yeah, every now and then when the moon's holdin' the water [04:18.48] Well, they say that old Joe'll stop and give you a ride [04:29.13] It seems, just like you, some hitchhiker'll be comin' by' [04:30.63] 'So here, son,' he said to me, 'you get yourself another cup of coffee [04:33.78] It's on the house, I kind of want you to hang on to that dime [04:39.45] Yeah, I kind of want you to hang on to that dime as a souvenir [04:50.34] I want you to keep that dime as a souvenir of Big Joe [04:51.72] Of Big Joe and Phantom [04:58.38] Big Joe and Phantom 309'
