      我是在一碟名为“色爵男声”的发烧碟中，遇见David Roth的，于是，我的耳与心都被他俘获，无可救药。乡村歌曲对我而言，本来就是难以摆脱的“毒药”，而Roth这样干净而磁性的声音流淌在如此优美的旋律中，我只有甘愿中毒。

      David Roth长我一岁，如今也正当壮年。如果上网搜索他的相关资料，很容易就搜到另一位重金属摇滚歌手David Lee Roth的名字。看来，乡村歌手比摇滚歌手还要非主流。

      这首歌曲娓娓道来一个由伤心到挚爱直至美好的人生故事，我的脑海中交替着主人公安然承受生活的画面与David Roth坐在橡树下怀抱吉他轻轻吟唱的画面，而在内心，我体会到的是爱与温柔的力量。

【歌词】

John and Josie's only child

young and handsome, fast and wild

join in the army at eighteen

left the army at eighteen

drift then from job to job

town to town and love to love

seven years forever, till young Jonnie came marching home

but Jonnie wasn't looking well

went into the hospital

days turned into several weeks

Jonnie kept on losing weight

Josie said that John sit down

John cried oh god,not my son

Jonnie left at twenty-five

hole as big as Jupiter

there's nothing stronger than a love

John and Josie head for Jonnie

throughing his last birthday party

no one from the family came

no one from the family came

turns John and Josie's grift to shame

shame to anger,anger pain

nothing they needed more now

two year’s gone,

the telephone is ringing in the dim the damn

beneath the world and cluser face

but John had punched the day he learned

that Jonnie he wouldn't live much longer

now a voice said to his father

Jonnie have a baby here

no one seems to want him

baby doesn't have his parents

two months old and with a pair of eyeless

Josie grabbed the phone from John

two of them said yes yes yes

so John and Josie over sixty

taking in a brand-new baby

named Paul Antonio[sounds like]

Jonnie would've loved him

nothing stronger than a love

John and Josie head for Jonnie

the same love at they've fall apart

they starting up to win again

and on the fear that same could happen

losing paul before his time comes

John and Josie looked right past it

they're basketing in love's mighty presents

John and Josie don't have time

they're basket in love's mighty presents
