Testo Summer Wages - Nanci Griffith
Testo della canzone Summer Wages (Nanci Griffith), tratta dall'album Other Voices Too ( A Trip Back To Bountiful)
Never hit seventeen
When you play against the dealer
You know that the odds won't ride with you
And never leave your woman alone
With your friends around to steal her
She'll be gambled and gone like summer wages
And we'll keep rolling on
Till we get to Vancouver
And the woman that I love, she's living there
And it's been six long months and more since I've seen her
Years of gamble and gone like summer wages
In all the beer parlors
Oh, down along Main Street
The dreams of the seasons
Get all spilled out on the floor
But the big stands of timber
Just waiting for the falling
And the hookers standing watchfully
Waiting by the door
So I work on the towboats
With my slippery city shoes
Which I swore I would never do again
Through the gray fog-bound straits
Where the cedars stand watching
I'll be far off and gone like summer wages
In all the beer parlors
Oh, down along Main Street
The dreams of the seasons
Get all spilled out on the floor
But the big stands of timber
Just waiting for the falling
And the hookers standing watchfully
Waiting by the door
Never hit seventeen
When you play against the dealer
You know that the odds won't ride with you
And never leave your woman alone
With your friends around to steal her
She'll be gambled and gone like summer wages
And the years are gambled and lost like summer wages
