Текст песни Legend of the South (Upchurch) с переводом

There’s a warm wind a-blowin'

And a burnin' sun droppin' down

At the end of time I’ll be rockin'

In a wooden chair like I’m still starin' at a crowd

'Cause this road I’ve traveled has been long and full of heartache

But the heartache’s gone when nobody’s around

When them Hollywood lights all go dim and California looks like a dead town

You know where I’ll be found

Yeah, I’ll be the ghost on a hilltop overlookin' plains

With the coal smoke steady rollin' off of that train

And my songs will always live down in the country (Country)

Where that young boy livin' for a Friday night

Plays an old lost song through the radio dial

When the words from the past speak up so loud (Speak up so loud)

Yeah, that’s the voice, that’s the voice, that’s the voice

The voice from a legend in the south (In the south)

When I’m fifty years old I’ll be on my back porch

Smokin' me a fuckin' stogie about the size of a torch

Gettin' pulled to rock music that’s vibratin' the place

'Til the neighbors call the police on my dirty white ass

Yeah, I figured you thought this was the talkin' blues

Yeah, it’s talkin' blues just in my shit-kick boots

I like to say stuff like 'fuck you' and some more

That’s why you won’t find my album at a Walmart store

Yeah, I’m the white horse that won’t let nobody ride

No saddle for my back for the next half ass guy

Nobody yankin' my reins or stoppin' the go

I gallop with hooves courted in forty-niner gold

Yeah, I’m the cheap ugly mutt that’s faster than the million dollar quarter

horse

And there ain’t no catchin' me, it’s a no go

I so grown into bein' the old soul so this soul goes

And the time ain’t fadin' not none of my fuckin' vocals

I’ll be the ghost on a hilltop overlookin' plains

With the coal smoke steady rollin' off of that train

And my songs will always live down in the country

Where that young boy livin' for a Friday night

Plays an old lost song through the radio dial

When the words from the past speak up so loud

Yeah, that’s the voice, that’s the voice, that’s the voice

The voice from a legend in the south

Well I’m obsessed with trucks and cars way too loud

Dump women if they don’t like country sounds

Like Elvis, Johnny Cash, and a little bit of Waylon Jennings (You know that’s

true)

I still sip well water right out of the hose

Smoke so much weed that my eyes are closed

I write songs fucked up like I’m kin to old George Jones (Old George Jones)

Yeah, most the time I’m higher than a kite

And my arms are wings and I’m takin' flight

And don’t plan on stoppin' 'til I run outta gas or crash (That'd be bad)

Yeah, my tattoos look like absolute shit

And my teeth are crooked as a crackhead’s chin

But my knuckles still feel like a boat built Ford Tough (For me it’s enough)

Yeah, I’ll be the ghost on a hilltop overlookin' plains

With the coal smoke steady rollin' off of that train

And my songs will always live down in the country

Where that young boy livin' for a Friday night

Plays an old lost song through the radio dial

When the words from the past speak up so loud

Yeah, that’s the voice, that’s the voice, that’s the voice

The voice from a legend in the south
