基本信息

歌曲：《PAPA WAS A REDEO》

歌手：SARA LOV

歌手信息：Devics主唱之一，出生于夏威夷，父母离异后随母亲到洛杉矶生活，4岁时被父亲劫持到以色列，与一个国际逃犯一起生活了十年之后最终被她的叔叔带回了美国。 Sara拥有她独有的声音魅力，听Sara的声音会使人产生她离你很近的感觉，就像站在你身后的地板上，时而低吟浅唱时而纵声高歌。她从不拿腔捏势，却偏偏能自然而然的把听者引入哀伤的漩涡——哀伤、伤情、黯淡、低颓.........动人的嗓音伴着悠扬沉重的大提琴声自由游荡其上.....如精灵般模糊不清的在你耳边游动。

歌词：

I like your twisted point of view, Mike

I like your questioning eyebrows

You've made it pretty clear what you like

It's only fair to tell you now

that I leave early in the morning

and I won't be back till next year

I see that kiss-me pucker forming

but maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause

Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band

I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand

Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand

Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand

Before you kiss me you should know

Papa was a rodeo

The light reflecting off the mirror ball

looks like a thousand swirling eyes

They make me think I shouldn't be here at all

You know, every minute someone dies

What are we doing in this dive bar

How can you live in a place like this

Why don't you just get into my car

and I'll take you away I'll take that kiss now, but

(boy) Papa was a rodeo- Mama was a rock'n'roll band

I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand

Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand

Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand

for you kiss me you should now

papa was a rodeo

And now it's 55 years later

We've had the romance of the century

After all these years wrestling gators

I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me

Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band

I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand

Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand

Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand

Before you kiss me you should know

papa was a rodeo

What a coincidence you .Papa was a rodeo too
