Tom T. Hall - Kentucky Feb. 27.`71 слова песни
There were signs beside the road like Jesus SavesAnd relieve yourself the fast and gentle wayI was looking for an old man who lived way back in these hillsWho just might have a story I could tellPretty soon the blacktop disappeared I felt the car change to a lower gearI took a drink of liquor just to chase away the chillI was twenty seven miles from Olive HillAhead I saw the bridge where I turned right a dirt road led straight up a mountain sideI pulled up to a farmhouse I thought I had seen beforeAn old man and his dog were at the doorThey told me this old-timer knew this land I told him sir I just don`t understandWhy the kids in this state just grow up and move awayAnd leave the land where they were born and raisedHe said son you can`t make it on this landUnless you`re happy working with your handsThere ain`t no kids today that want to stay and work it outThey wanna see the things they hear aboutHe said I cleared this old farm off myselfAnd I`d work it now but time has got my healthThen staring out the window resting in his easy chairHe told me what I`d really come to hearSaid you know son people used to tell their kidsMy I don`t want you to have to work the way I didThey don`t and some will tell you that it`s a shameBut you have to think before you place the blameI guess we must`ve talked a half a day then I told him that I`d best be on my wayHe shook my hand and said I`m glad I met you Mr HallBut I guess there ain`t no song here after all
