Pearl
作詞:Brokop Lisa Ann, Johnston Kim Patton
She was born on a Tuesday afternoon in West Memphis In the dog days of summer, to a drunk man and his wife It was all they could do, to feed her brothers and her sisters So they never even tried to give this one a better life
But she'd have dreams, just like the next one And they would come at a great price She would be nobody's savior But she would be the sacrifice
They'd say, 'Pearl, go get your boots on, we've got a field to plow Girl, put down that book, you ain't got no time to read right now' Mama, she don't know the kind of visions that I see But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
She'd go barefoot down to Beale street, she had no fancy shoes She's tell them, she was 21 and got paid to sing the blues She'd crawl back into her window every night at 2:00 am And pray her daddy didn't come to steal her innocence again
But finally she had her bus fare They never found out where she'd gone She left a note that said, 'I'm goin' someplace 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 To make this life a better home'
They'd say, 'Pearl, go get your boots on, we've got a field to plow Girl put down that book, you ain't got no time to read right now' Mama, she don't know the kind of visions that I see But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
I met her in a lonely church one cloudy afternoon She was singin' softly to the Lord and fillin' up the room I said, 'I've seen you on the big stage, lights and glory all around Pearl, what brings you to this place?', she said,'It's my hometown'
And I need just like the next one to remember who I was So I've come back to find forgiveness To see my past through eyes of love
They'd say, 'Pearl, go get your boots on, we've got a field to plow Girl, put down that book, you ain't got no time to read right now' Mama, she don't know the kind of visions that I see But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me (Soul inside of me, soul inside of me, soul inside of me) Pearl, soul inside of me
