מילים לשיר The Ballad Of Hollis Brown – Cheap Trick

Hollis brown he lived, on the outside of town Hollis brown he lived, on the outside of town
With his wife and five children In his cabin broken down He looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mile He looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mile Your children are so hungry That they dont know how to smile Your babys eyes look crazy and theyre tuggin at your sleeve Your babys eyes look crazy and theyre tuggin at your sleeve You walk the floor and you wonder why With every breath you breathe The rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mare The rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mare Is there anyone that knows Is there anyone that cares You prayed to the lord above to please send you a friend You prayed to the lord above to please send you a friend Your empty pockets tell you That you aint got no friend Your babys a cryin louder now its poundin on your brain Your babys a cryin louder now its poundin on your brain Your wifes screams are a stabbin you Like dirty, drivin rain Your grass is turnin black and theres no water in your well Your grass is turnin black and theres no water in your well On them seven shotgun shells
You spent your last lone dollar Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls Your eyes fix on the shotgun Thats hangin on the wall Your brain it is a bleedin and your legs cant seem to stand Your brain it is a bleedin and your legs cant seem to stand Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That youre holdin in your hand Theres seven breezes blowin around the cabin door
Theres seven breezes blowin all around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out Like the oceans pounding roar Theres seven people dead on a south dakota farm Theres seven people dead on a south dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance Theres seven new people born.
