The Road of Plenty — текст песни (Neil Young)





One day a visitor took a trip through my town

We all were dancin till he took his beat away

Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail

Slipped out late one night

Completely out of sight

Left his message etched into my brain.



And when the gates are closed on the road of plenty

The fist comes poundin down you feel it everyday

Its hard to really know if you are full or empty

Here it comes again

You think Im your old friend

But now were not so easily found.



Me and my old corvette, we were flying through the night

Chasin my blonde lover down skyline

She saw the tail lights flash to avoid the crash

It was way too late

When I hit the brakes

And we went spinnin with a screeching sound.



I was talkin to my friend, tellin him I lucked out

He smiled at me and said Im glad you feel that way

And when I wrote that down on a piece of paper

Beneath a garbage heap

Down upon the street

A mariachi band began to play.



Up in the gold hotel, the money hits the table

The heavies are all there, thats why the deal goes down

With beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable

Down upon the street

Beside a garbage heap

A mariachi band began to play.



In eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter

His eyes are screamin blue, his hair is red as blood

And when the gate goes up, the crowd gets so excited

Then he comes dancin out

Dressed in gold lami

He kills the bull and lives another day.
