Waylon Jennings - He Went To Paris [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
He went to Paris looking for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive young and aggressive
Saving the world on his own
Warm summer breezes French wine and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away
He went to England played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a good life she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim
All of the answers and all of the questions
He locked in his attic one day
Because he liked the quiet clean country living
And twenty more years slipped away
War took his baby bombs killed his lady
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered his whole world was shattered
All he could do was just cry
While the tears were falling he was recalling
Answers that he never found
So he hopped in a freighter skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound
Now he lives in the island fishes the piling
And drinks his green label each day
Writing his memoirs losing his hearing
But he don't care what most people say
After eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and say
Well, some of it's magic probably tragic
But I had a good life all the way

[Outro]
He went to Paris looking for answers
To questions that bothered him so...
