Lord, Mr. Ford - Jerry Reed.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Feller
[00:05.82]Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them gas-drinking, piston-clinking, air-polluting, smoke-belching, four-wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention. I'm about to sing your song son.
[00:16.92]Well, I'm not a man appointed judge
[00:28.17]To bear ill-will and hold a grudge
[00:30.03]But I think it's time I said me a few choice words
[00:33.84]All about that demon automobile
[00:36.24]A metal box with the polyglass wheel
[00:38.31]The end result to a dream of Henry Ford
[00:41.82]Well I've got a car that's mine alone
[00:44.31]That me and the finance company own
[00:46.20]A ready-made pile of manufactured grief
[00:49.86]And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
[00:52.29]I'm a-changin' a flat in a hurricane
[00:54.27]I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf
[00:58.02]Well it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam
[01:00.36]That makes me the bitter fool I am
[01:02.19]But this four-wheel buggy is
[01:03.48]A-dollaring me to death
[01:06.27]For gas and oils and fluids and grease
[01:08.43]And wires and tires and anti freeze
[01:10.35]And them accessories
[01:11.49]Well honey, that's something else
[01:13.77]Well you can get a stereo tape and a color TV
[01:16.29]Get a back-seat bar and reclining seats
[01:18.69]And just pay once a month, like you do your rent
[01:22.14]Well I figured it up and over a period of time
[01:24.48]This four thousand dollar car of mine
[01:26.43]Costs fourteen thousand dollars
[01:28.14]And ninety-nine cents, well now
[01:30.63]{Chorus}:
[01:30.84]Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
[01:34.26]What your simple horseless carriage has become
[01:38.37]Well it seems your contribution to man
[01:40.89]To say the least, got a little out of hand
[01:42.78]Well Lord Mr. Ford what have you done
[01:54.66]Now the average American father and mother
[01:56.94]Own one whole car and half another
[01:59.19]And I bet that half a car is a
[02:00.57]Trick to buy, don't you
[02:02.70]But the thing that amazes me, I guess
[02:05.13]Is the way we measure a man's success
[02:07.02]By the kind of automobile he can afford to buy
[02:09.66]Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop
[02:13.35]Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop
[02:15.39]Get out the credit card honey, we're out of gas
[02:18.99]Well now, all the cars placed end to end
[02:21.24]Would reach to the moon and back again
[02:23.52]And there'd probably be some
[02:24.60]Fool pull out to pass
[02:26.82]Well now, how I yearn for the good old days
[02:29.55]Without that carbon monoxide haze
[02:31.59]A-hanging over the roar of the interstate
[02:34.98]Well if the Lord that made the moon and stars
[02:37.56]Would have meant for me and you to have cars
[02:39.63]He'd have seen that we was all born
[02:41.10]With a parking space
[02:48.39]{Chorus}
[02:59.64]Come away with me Lucille
[03:03.60]In my smoking, choking automobile
