[00:00.000] 作词 : Mark Knopfler
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Mark Knopfler
[00:17.465]You had to know what you were doing
[00:20.469]Up on the band
[00:22.968]Nobody lining up
[00:24.476]To come give you a hand
[00:27.221]No way could you fake it
[00:29.465]At 18th and Vine
[00:31.222]And we could really put the sauce on it
[00:33.716]We'd do it all the time
[00:44.710]We was hot as smokin' pistols
[00:46.966]Chopping everybody down
[00:49.714]Swinging like dogs, man
[00:51.958]Kings of the town
[00:54.207]There'd be a cutting contest
[00:55.964]You had to do your research
[00:58.720]I'd pull out a lick or two
[01:00.710]From Saturday night church
[01:02.717]Yeah, you'd maybe get to try
[01:04.960]A couple things you learned
[01:07.216]But you had to do your homework
[01:09.468]'Cause a gig was earned
[01:39.175]When swing turned into bebop
[01:41.170]It was all going on
[01:44.160]Blowing all night
[01:46.171]On past the dawn
[01:48.423]I might play all day
[01:50.178]I might play all night
[01:52.672]Whatever made you stronger, baby
[01:55.170]That was alright
[01:56.923]Yeah, you'd maybe get to try
[01:59.169]A couple things you'd learned
[02:01.667]But you had to know your business
[02:03.924]'Cause everybody burned
[02:32.920]Well a beer was a nickel
[02:35.669]A whiskey was a dime
[02:37.924]They'd come to Kansas City
[02:39.667]See the girls on Vine
[02:42.916]Might get a hot shot
[02:44.426]Wanna bring along his horn
[02:46.911]We liked to clean 'em up
[02:48.670]And head 'em back where they belong
[02:56.167]So long
[03:45.181]But it's just the old malarkey
[03:47.177]That'll wear you down
[03:49.934]Some people are the pits, man
[03:51.921]There's always some around
[03:54.676]Some will take advantage
[03:57.179]If they can
[03:59.160]It's the old baloney sandwich
[04:01.173]You dig me, man?
[04:03.417]I'm talking about a time
[04:05.169]When every man could play
[04:07.927]But that's the way it was
[04:10.417]Back in the day
