| 作词 : Phelps | |
| It's a ditch, okay. I have shoes and a blanket | |
| My head resting light on a stone | |
| Though it's hard it's still rounded with a pocket for brains | |
| or what goes for in halls under roof tile | |
| We'll sing another blistering ballad for grandma | |
| Melody sweet till it rolls out the ear | |
| And the beer flows free as advice | |
| With a tight hand holding the jar | |
| A tight hand holding the jar | |
| The mud cakes my chin strap, fills up my cuffs | |
| As I plod, now, from creek edge to street side | |
| As it dries I can whittle it little by little | |
| "Hey, look, now I'm light as a bee" | |
| And those gray clouds mean nothing to one such as I | |
| Though shadows stand tall as some school master whack | |
| On the back of a well intentioned quiet kid | |
| With my arms held around the jar | |
| My arms held around the jar | |
| And it's slow, so slow the idea | |
| The coming around of a sensible world | |
| It hovers and shakes like a hummingbird wing | |
| At the end of a long hot year | |
| At the end of a long hot year | |
| So fry up that supper, we're going to kill it for breakfast | |
| As we turn the table down side and crazy | |
| With the legs up, the women up, the men up to church | |
| For the spirit, the hen yard, the bent steel track rap | |
| It's a ditch, yeah, I know that, and, I do wonder | |
| How that bright faced, ten year old me of a boy | |
| Found the road out I never, I never could see | |
| With my arms held around a jar | |
| My arms held around a jar | |
| And it's slow, so slow the idea | |
| The coming around of a sensible world | |
| It hovers and shakes like a hummingbird wing | |
| At the end of a long hot year | |
| At the end of a long hot year | |
| At the end of a long hot year |
