Elton John - Ballad of a well known gun [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I pulled out my Stage Coach Times
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
And asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer
And hung my head in shame

[Chorus 1]
Now they've found me
At last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family

[Chorus 2]
Now they've found me
Well I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun

[Verse 2]
Now I've seen this chain gang
Lord I say let me see my priest
I couldn't have faced your desert sand
Old burning brown backed beast
The poor house they hit me for my kin
And claimed my crumbling walls
Now I know how Reno felt
When he ran from the law

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
Now they've found me
Lord I say at last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family

[Chorus 2]
Lord I say now they've found me
Well I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun

[Chorus 1]
Lord I say now they've found me
At last they've found me
It's hard to run
From a starving family

[Chorus 2]
Now they've found me
I won't run
I'm tired of hearing
There goes a well-known gun
