Farther Down The Line — текст песни (Lyle Lovett)

Lets have a hand for that young cowboy

And wish him better luck next time

And hope we see him up in fargo

Or somewhere farther down the line

This time he sure drew a bad one

One that nobody could ride

But by the way he pulled his hat on

You knew hed be there for the fight



And its the classic contradiction

The unavoidable affliction

Well it dont take much to predict son

The way it always goes

One day shell say she loves you

And the next shell be tired of you

And pushll always come to shove you

On that midnight rodeo



He almost made it to the buzzer

Somehow he gave up in the end

He put one hand around the other

And let that pickup man on in

And it was his last chance to ride it

And now hell have to move along

But he knows back in his mind that

He wont be away for long



And its the classic contradiction

Its the unavoidable affliction

It dont take much to predict son

The way it always goes

Because one day shell say she loves you

And the next shell be tired of you

And pushll always come to shove you

On that midnight rodeo



So lets have a hand for that young cowboy

And wish him better luck next time

And hope we see him up in fargo

Or somewhere farther down the line
