作曲 : Ian Noe
In a heavy rain standing off an old county road
Sat a high rolling river so swift
There was a hitchhiking stranger quite pale from the cold
On a cane trying to thumb down a lift
So I pulled up beside him, let my window on down
To the rain and the bone chilling wind
Said you look awful worn in this late winter storm
Which way are you headed my friend?
Right up to the spotlight
Drinkin' all that coke and gin
And I'll be a suit wearing man
With gold in my hand
If today doesn't do me in
Behind a gas station counter
Moving crates full of things
That looked far too heavy for her
Stood a girl with a frown
Said let me just set these down
And I'll be right with you sir
I said no hurry here
Take all the time that you want
She said a little time and you just wait and see
Oh I'll be without a care
When I finally get there
I said miss, tell me where might that be
Right up to the spotlight
Drinkin' all that coke and gin
And I'll be a dress wearing girl
With the heels and the pearls
If today doesn't do me in
Well I get a head full this morning
Cutting out through the fog
And no I can't help but wonder what's left
From every road that dead ends
To those old bitter men
Passing time on the old courthouse steps
And there's a feeling you get
Not far from despair
That sometimes sets in on your mind
But if it's all that you've got
Ya still set the clock
And get up with a reason to climb
Right up to the spotlight
Drinkin' all that coke and gin
And I'll leave these shadows behind
For a new peace of mind
If today doesn't do me in
If today doesn't do me in
