Bruce Hornsby - The Red Plains текст песни

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby

Four walls I built one winter

She came to share my name

For years we lived as lovers on the open plains

Far off the heat wave shimmers

Pipelines and the gasoline

One day it all came running like a bad dream

Fire, smoke-filled lungs

I hope Ill be standing when the day is done

Were

Staring out at the red plains

And were hiding out from the smoke and the rage

A lifetime living on the red plains

Watching out as it all goes up in flames

Get up on sunday morning

Repent for friday night

Dont let em tell you its gonna be a fair fight

I gave her clothes and a diamond

She loved the things that shine

But one day the gold and the silver get left behind

Fire, smoke-filled rooms

I hope Ill be standing when the day is through

Staring out at the red plains

And were hiding out from the smoke and the rage

A lifetime living on the red plains

Watching out as it all goes up in flames
