[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:04.66]Well I come from the rural midwest
[00:09.58]It's the land I love more than all the rest
[00:14.30]It's the place I know and understand
[00:19.20]Like a false front building
[00:21.48]Like the back of my hand
[00:23.89]And the men I knew when I was coming up
[00:28.79]Were sober as coffee in a styrofoam cup
[00:33.46]There were Earls and Rays Harlans and Roys
[00:38.40]They were full-grown men
[00:40.07]They were barbed wire boys
[00:45.80]They raised grain and cattle
[00:47.89]On the treeless fields
[00:50.21]Sat at the head of the table
[00:52.74]And prayed before meals
[00:55.44]Prayed an our father and that was enough
[01:00.17]Pray more than that and you couldn't stay tough
[01:04.81]Tough as the busted thumbnails
[01:07.51]On the weathered hands
[01:09.75]They worked the gold plate off their wedding bands
[01:14.63]And they never complained
[01:16.84]No they never made noise
[01:19.51]And they never left home
[01:21.28]These barbed wire boys
[01:24.29]Cause their wildest dreams were all fenced in
[01:29.15]By the weight of family
[01:31.66]By the feeling of sin
[01:34.09]That'll prick your skin at the slightest touch
[01:38.74]If you reach too far if you feel too much
[01:43.78]So their deepest hopes will never were expressed
[01:48.51]And just beat like bird's wings
[01:50.88]In the cage of their chest
[01:53.14]All the restless longings all the secret joys
[01:57.94]That never were set free
[01:59.83]In the barbed wire boys
[02:43.57]And now one by one they're departing this earth
[02:48.44]And it's clear to me now exactly what they're worth
[02:53.10]Oh they were just like atlas holding up the sky
[02:57.96]You never heard him speak
[03:00.35]You never saw him cry
[03:02.82]But where do the tears go
[03:05.34]That you never shed
[03:07.64]Where do the words go
[03:10.03]That you never said
[03:12.50]Well there's a blink of the eye
[03:14.94]There's a catch in the voice
[03:17.28]That is the unsung song
[03:21.32]Of the barbed wire boys
