The New Timer

Текст песни Bruce Springsteen - The New Timer <br/> He rode the rails since the great depression<br />Fifty years out on the skids<br />He said you don&#039;t cross nobody<br />You&#039;ll be all right out here kid<br /><br />Left my family in Pennsylvania<br />Searchin&#039; for work I hit the road<br />( )<br />I met Frank in east Texas<br />In a freight yard blown through with snow<br /><br />From New Mexico to Colorado<br />California to the sea<br />Frank he showed me the ropes, sir<br />Just till I could get back on my feet<br /><br />I hoed sugar beets outside of Firebaugh<br />I picked the peaches from the Marysville tree<br />They bunked us in a barn just like animals<br />Me and a hundred others just like me<br /><br />We split up come the springtime<br />I never seen Frank again<br />&#039;Cept one rainy night he blew by me on grainer<br />Shouted my name and disappeared in the rain and the wind<br /><br />They found him shot dead outside Stockton<br />His body lyin&#039; on a muddy hill<br />Nothin&#039; taken, nothin&#039; stolen<br />Somebody killed him just to kill<br /><br />Late that summer I was rollin&#039; through the plains of Texas<br />A vision passed before my eyes A small house sittin&#039; trackside<br />With the glow of the saviours beautiful light<br /><br />A woman stood cookin&#039; in the kitchen<br />Kid sat at the table with his old man<br />Now I wonder does my son miss me<br />Does he wonder where I am<br /><br />Tonight I pick my campsite carefully<br />Outside the Sacramento Yard<br />Gather some wood and light a fire<br />In the early winter dark<br /><br />Wind whistling cold I pull my coat around me<br />Make some coffee and stare out into the black night<br />I lie awake, I lie awake sir<br />With my machete by my side<br /><br />My Jesus your gracious love and mercy<br />Tonight I&#039;m sorry could not fill my heart<br />
