Shaky Town — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

Ive witnessed those one night stands

Must have played in a thousand bands

But Im just here tonight, tomorrow Ill be gone

Seen folks show their blacker sides

Seen them die just for foolish pride

And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song



Thats a big ten-four

From your back door

Just put that hammer down

This young man feels

Those eighteen wheels

That keep turning round to take me down to shaky town



Ive heard all those hard luck tales

From all of you u.s. males

Ive heard you tell those lies about the love youve know

And Ive followed those highway signs

And Ive run down those thin white lines

Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own



Thats a big ten-four

From your back door

Just put that hammer down

This young man feels

Those eighteen wheels

That keep turning round to take me down to shaky town
