Текст песни The Long Journey Home (Rodney Crowell) с переводом

We ran off chasing rainbows

'Neath the blue Montana sky

And we self-proclaimed our freedom with a roar

We crossed those raging rivers

And we drank the taverns dry

And we bowed our heads to legends

Gone before

Are you ready for the long journey home?

The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones

The simple life tastes sweeter now

You have no need to roam

Are you ready for the long journey home?

The wind down off the Yellowstone

Blows coal trains off their tracks

And the water springs eternal from the fire

An eagle flies at sunrise

'Cross an aspen grove and back

And the moonlight brings a blue coyote choir

Are you ready for the long journey home?

The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones

The simple life tastes sweeter now

You have no need to roam

Are you ready for the long journey home?

In dreams of mile-high cotton fields

We once ran barefoot through

My dead drunk Uncle Fireball growls these words

«Blood don’t make you family, Boy

And I’ve got news for you

Rattlesnakes don’t sing like speckled birds»

Are you ready for the long journey home?

The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones

The simple life tastes sweeter now

You have no need to roam

Are you ready for the long journey home?
