[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:01.28]My daddy left home when I was three [00:03.49]And he didn't leave much to ma and me [00:05.82]Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. [00:09.79]Now' I don't blame him cause he run and hid [00:11.89]But the meanest thing that he ever did [00:14.01]Was before he left' he went and named me Sue [00:18.00]Well' he must o' thought that is quite a joke [00:20.10]And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk' [00:22.37]It seems I had to fight my whole life through. [00:25.98]Some gal would giggle and I'd get red [00:28.42]I tell ya' life ain't easy for a boy named Sue [00:34.37]Well' I grew up quick and I grew up mean' [00:36.40]My fist got hard and my wits got keen' [00:38.68]I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. [00:42.55]But I made a vow to the moon and stars [00:44.80]That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars [00:47.13]And kill that man who gave me that awful name. [00:50.31]Well' it was Gatlinburg in mid-July [00:52.40]And I just hit town and my throat was dry' [00:55.41]I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. [00:58.73]At an old saloon on a street of mud' [01:01.38]There at a table' dealing stud' [01:03.37]Sat the dirty' mangy dog that named me Sue [01:07.32]Well' I knew that snake was my own sweet dad [01:09.50]From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had' [01:11.69]And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. [01:15.39]He was big and bent and gray and old' [01:17.64]And I looked at him and my blood ran cold [01:24.69]Now your gonna die [01:29.96]Well' I hit him hard right between the eyes [01:32.37]And he went down' but to my surprise' [01:33.69]He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. [01:38.04]But I busted a chair right across his teeth [01:40.20]And we crashed through the wall and into the street [01:42.62]Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. [01:46.49]I tell ya' I've fought tougher men [01:48.80]But I really can't remember when' [01:50.66]He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. [01:54.62]I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss' [01:56.87]He went for his gun and I pulled mine first' [01:59.22]He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. [02:03.75]And if a man's gonna make it' he's gotta be tough [02:06.34]And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along. [02:10.22]So I give ya that name and I said goodbye [02:12.39]I knew you'd have get to tough or die [02:14.60]And it's the name that helped to make you strong [02:20.60]And I know you hate me' and you got the right [02:22.64]To kill me now' and I wouldn't blame you if you do. [02:26.67]But ya ought to thank me' before I die' [02:28.49]For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye [02:30.99]Cause I'm the son-of-a-*****that named you Sue.' [02:37.44]I got all choked up and I threw down my gun [02:42.70]And I called him my pa' and he called me his son' [02:47.72]And I came away with a different point of view. [02:51.14]And I think about him' now and then' [02:53.18]Every time I try and every time I win' [02:57.84]And if I ever have a son' I think I'm gonna name him
