Fastest Growing Heartache In The West — текст песни (Ringo Starr)

By Larry Kingston and Fred Dycus

I BROUGHT HER HERE FROM ARKANSAS,
A SIMPLE COUNTRY GIRL,
TO TRY A CALIFORNIAN WAY OF LIFE.
BUT IT DIDN`T TAKE HER LONG TO LEARN
THE WAYS OF THE MODERN WORLD,
NOW SHE`S CALIFORNIA`S FASTEST MOVING WIFE.


SHE`S WORKING ON IT OVER TIME
AND SOON SHE`LL FINISH ME.
AND THE WORLD`S SADDEST MAN WILL LIVE HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
OF ALL THE THINGS SHE`S EVER DONE,
SHE`S MAKING THIS HER BEST,
I GOT THE FASTEST GROWING HEARTACHE IN THE WEST.


`TIL WE CAME HERE NO MAN HAD EVER
TOUCHED HER HEART BUT ME,
SHE`D NEVER TASTED ANY LIPS BUT MINE.
BUT I KNOW NOW, MAN HAVE SEEN
WHAT ONLY I SHOULD SEE
SINCE HER LIPS HAS TASTED CALIFORNIA WINE.


SHE`S WORKING ON IT OVER TIME
AND SOON SHE`LL FINISH ME.
AND THE WORLD`S SADDEST MAN WILL LIVE HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
OF ALL THE THINGS SHE`S EVER DONE,
SHE`S MAKING THIS HER BEST,
I GOT THE FASTEST GROWING HEARTACHE IN THE WEST.
