🔺《莱茵石牛仔》原唱人 LARRY WEISS
胖公鸡对清新质朴的乡村民谣向来缺乏足够的抵抗力，不论歌坛如何变迁，心里的风一直都吹向这片清新的绿洲不曾稍离，Joan Baez、Garth Brooks、Billy Ray Cyrus……迷恋的无一不是民谣界闪亮的巨星。
🔺多年前一个很偶然的机会，电视屏幕上播出美国著名民谣歌手Glen Campbell（格伦.坎贝尔）的经典名曲《Rhinestone Cowboy》（莱茵石牛仔），行进在铁轨旁醇厚阳刚的吉他弹唱，加上又酷又帅的牛仔装扮，一下子让我喜欢上了这首歌和这个人。
🔺歌词：I've been walking these streets so long
我已在这些街道上走了很久
Singing the same old song
嘴里唱着同一首老歌
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
百老汇肮脏人行道的每条裂缝我都一清二楚
Where hustle is the name of the game
在那些充满欺诈的地方
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
良民遭受雨雪般狂暴的洗劫
There’s been a load of compromising
通向曙光的路途上
On the road to my horizon
曾经有过无数次妥协
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
但总有一天灯光会聚焦在我身上
Like a rhinestone cowboy
像个莱茵石牛仔
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
在星光闪烁的竞技场策马上场
Like a rhinestone cowboy
像个莱茵石牛仔
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
收获不认识的人们寄来的卡片和信件
And offers coming over the phone
甚至还有电话里的求婚
Well I really don't mind the rain
我真的不在乎被雨淋湿
And a smile can hide all the pain
笑容可以掩盖所有的痛楚
But you're down when you're riding a train
但你已乘火车南下
That's taking the long way
踏上漫漫长路
And I dream of the things I'll do
而我依然梦想着要去做的事
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
鞋子里塞着地铁代币和一块钱
There’ll be a load of compromising
通向曙光的路途上
On the road to my horizon
还会经历无数次妥协
But I'm gonna be where the lightsare shining on me
但总有一天灯光会聚焦在我身上
