Текст песни Throwin' Horseshoes at the Moon (Iris Dement) с переводом

My father was a gambler, he threw horseshoes at the moon

He won a million dollars, he lost a million, too

They repossessed the house, they towed that Cadillac

My daddy, he just smiled and said «One day I’ll win it back»

My daddy bought that Cadillac off a Detroit motor line

Then he drove it through his home town, to prove he hit his prime

With hundred dollars bills in a Saint Chris money clip

And four kids starin' proudly from that big ol' sinkin' ship

Throwin' horseshoes at the moon

Boys, it’s mighty risky odds, sometimes ya hook the milky way,

Or the outstretched hands of God

But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole

And the sound of fallin' horseshoes, it pulls upon your soul

Throwin' horse shoes at the moon

My daddy was a gambler, but he had an honest heart

He never did complain, when the whole thing fell apart

He just swam that sea of alcohol till he hit the other side

How can ya be a loser if you never lose your pride?

Throwin' horse shoes at the moon

Boys, it’s mighty risky odds, sometimes ya hook the milky way,

Or the outstretched hands of God

But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole

And the sound of fallin' horseshoes, it pulls upon the soul

Throwin' horse shoes at the moon.
