Jimmie Rodgers' Dream

Jimmie Rodgers' Dream - Elton John (艾爾頓·約翰)/Leon Russell

I'm looking at a funeral wagon rolling down

A two-lane highway winding past a desert town

A big blue canvas painted by the Master's hand

The shifting clouds above and

Endless miles of sand

In that mirror maybe that's what's left of me

Wheezing like a freight

Train hauling sixty tons of steel

Air 'em out's the best release and get some rest

Carrie don't wait up for me

The brakeman's going West

In this room all alone

I dream of you

In this drawer I found someone

I never knew

Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon

And fall asleep to visions of Meridian

I've seen dusty beaten

Delta boys cutting heads

A black face carney showman

Scare a song to death

In my short life I've seen as much as

Most men need

Now I'm just looking for

Some cleaner air to breathe

In this room all alone

I dream of you

In this drawer I found someone

I never knew

Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon

And fall asleep to visions of Meridian

Far away far away

So many years so many days

All along this broken land

I've seen a lover's empty arms

And hunger's empty hand

In this room all alone

I dream of you

In this drawer I found someone

I never knew

Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon

And fall asleep to visions of Meridian
