[00:00.000] 作曲 : Paul Barry/Patrick Mascall/Mark Taylor
[00:05.740] I took a wrong turn down a dead-end street and fell into another bar
[00:11.040] I shook off the rain, pulled up a seat and drowned my weary heart
[00:16.441] An old man sat down next to me with years etched on his face
[00:21.551] He said "You better take it easy son, or you'll never leave this place"
[00:27.260] I laughed and bought another drink, and a double for him too
[00:32.820] I told him all my struggles and the hell I'm going through
[00:38.154] The broken dreams, the things I've seen, and the people I've let down
[00:43.564] He raised a glass and half a smile and bought another round
[00:47.904]
[00:50.259] And he said "Don't tell me, 'cause you know I wrote the book"
[00:57.047] "And trouble's been my shadow for so long"
[01:01.982] "But the words I wrote, they won't do you any good"
[01:09.108] "You gotta live your life before you're dead and gone"
[01:13.568]
[01:14.744] We laughed and cried for hours as we drank away the night
[01:20.175] He spoke of sins and celebrations, the stories of his life
[01:25.471] "Son, you think you've got it tough, as bad as it can get"
[01:30.797] "But I've seen my share of ups and downs and you ain't seen nothing yet"
[01:36.264] "You ain't seen nothing yet"
[01:37.727]
[01:38.931] "So don't tell me, 'cause you know I wrote the book"
[01:44.510] "And trouble's been my shadow for so long"
[01:49.420] "But the words I wrote, they won't do you any good"
[01:56.344] "You gotta live your life before you're dead and gone"
[02:05.316]
[02:21.194] The lights go up
[02:22.498] We've had too much and everyone's gone home
[02:26.715] But let's have one more for the good times
[02:30.561] And one more for the road, one more for the road
[02:35.066]
[02:36.552] "Don't tell me, 'cause you know I wrote the book"
[02:41.828] "And trouble's been my shadow for so long"
[02:46.749] "But the words I wrote, they won't do you any good"
[02:53.754] "You gotta live your life before you're dead and gone"
[02:59.240] "You gotta live your life before you're dead and gone"
