Old Ways

Reseña

Old Ways es el decimocuarto álbum de estudio del músico y cantautor Neil Young, lanzado el 12 de agosto de 1985 por Geffen Records.

Young se ha referido a este álbum en algunas entrevistas como Old Ways II, ya que originalmente había planeado lanzar un álbum country titulado Old Ways en 1983. El sello discográfico de Young, Geffen, se opuso a esto y le pidió a Young un álbum de "rock 'n roll" , que Young les daría en forma de Everybody's Rockin 'de 1983.

    letra de Get Back To The Country

    When I was a younger man

    Got lucky with a rock 'n' roll band

    Struck gold in hollywood

    All that time I knew I would

    Get back to the country

    Back where it all began

    Get back to the country

    Back in the barn again.



    Now when we hit the road

    Big buses and trucks unload

    After the curtain falls

    Load up and then we all

    Get back to the country

    Back where it all began

    Get back to the country

    Back on the road again.



    When I was a younger man

    Got lucky with a rock 'n' roll band

    Struck gold in hollywood

    All that time I knew I would

    Get back to the country

    Back where it all began

    Get back to the country

    Back in the barn again.

    letra de Are There Any More Real Cowboys?

    Are there any more
    real cowboys
    Left out in these hills?
    Will the fire hit the iron
    One more time?
    And will one more
    dusty pick-up
    Coming rolling down the road
    With a load of feed
    before the sun gets high?
    Well, I hope that
    working cowboy never dies.

    Not the one
    that's snortin' cocaine
    When the honky-tonk's all closed
    But the one
    that prays for more rain
    Heaven knows
    That the good feed
    brings the money
    And the money buys the clothes
    Not the diamond sequins
    shining on TV
    But the kind the
    working cowboy really needs.

    Are there any more
    country families
    Still working hand in hand
    Trying hard to stay together
    And make a stand?
    While the rows and rows of houses
    Come creepin' up on the land
    Where the cattle graze and
    an old grey barn still stands
    Are there any more
    real cowboys in this land?

    Are there any more
    real cowboys in this land?

    letra de Once An Angel

    Once an angel
    Always an angel
    You're as close to heaven
    As I'll ever be

    It's been six years now
    Since my ring
    slipped on your finger
    And those years have made
    A better man out of me.

    Once an angel
    Always an angel
    You're as close to heaven
    As I'll ever be.

    There've been times when
    I've treated you so badly
    I've done things I know
    You'll never understand.

    But you take me back
    Turn your eyes
    towards the window
    Where you hide the tears
    You don't want me to see.

    Once an angel
    Always an angel
    You're as close to heaven
    As I'll ever be.

    Once an angel
    Always an angel
    You're as close to heaven
    As I'll ever be.

    You're as close to heaven
    As I'll ever be.

    letra de Misfits

    Up in that new space station
    Living Kennedy's dream
    There was an automatic camera
    Shooting elephantine.

    Well the crew was relaxing
    Before the video screen
    Watching old re-runs
    Of Mohammed Ali.

    The voice of Houston callin'
    Brought them back to the scene
    Except the sky is fallin'
    Do you know what that means?

    Out on that Texas sidewalk
    Through the hotel mezzanine
    There walked a see-thru' hooker
    To a suite with two TVs.

    But by the elevator
    She began to sneeze
    With an attack so uncontrolled
    It brought her to her knees.

    And then the hotel doctor
    With nurse and stethoscope
    Announced the worst is over
    But for her there is no hope.

    Way down in South Dakota
    On the Needles Highway
    There's a lone red rider
    On the road today.

    And though his war is over
    He's fightin' on anyway
    Although he's seldom sober
    He's drinking whisky all day.

    Down in that old box canyon
    Where only misfits can go
    He rides with no companion
    But saloon and rodeo.

    Up in that new space station
    Living Kennedy's dream
    There's an automatic camera
    Shooting elephantine.

    Well the crew is relaxing
    Before the video screen
    Watching old re-runs
    Of Mohammed Ali.

    The voice of Houston callin'
    Brought them back to the scene
    Except the sky is fallin'
    Do you know what that means?

    letra de California Sunset

    I remember long ago
    How I wondered where I'd go
    While the blizzards,
    cold wind and snow
    Pounded outside my window.

    California sunset
    Going down in the West
    All the colors in the sky
    Kiss another day goodbye.

    Land of beauty,
    space and light
    Land of promise,
    land of might
    You're my home now
    and it's true
    California, here's to you.

    California sunset
    Going down in the West
    All the colors in the sky
    Kiss another day goodbye.

    California sunset
    Going down in the West
    All the colors in the sky
    Kiss another day goodbye.

    The golden state!

    letra de Old Ways

    Old ways,
    it sure is hard
    to change 'em
    Come what may
    It's hard to teach
    a dinosaur a new trick
    Lately I've been finding out
    I'm set in my ways
    Old ways,
    can be your ball
    and chain.

    Oh, I'm gonna stop that grass
    And give up all this drinking
    Really gonna make my life last
    Clean up my whole way of living
    Up until the party last night
    I was a different man
    But old ways
    got their way again.

    The economy was getting so bad
    I had to lay myself off
    Well, working was a habit I had
    So I kept showin' up anyway
    Then one day
    things turned around
    I got my back pay
    Old ways
    comin' through again.

    I got old ways.

    letra de My Boy

    Why are you growin' up so fast
    My boy?
    Oh, you'd better take your time.
    Why are you growin' up so fast
    My son?

    Almost time to live your dream
    My boy.
    Oh, you'd better take your time.
    Almost time to make some plans
    My son.

    Vacation gone, school is out,
    Summer ends year in year out.

    Oh, you'd better take your time
    My boy.
    I thought we had just begun.
    Why are you growin' up so fast
    My son?

    Vacation gone, school is out,
    Summer ends year in year out.

    Why are you growin' up so fast
    My boy?

    Why are you growin' up so fast
    My son?

    letra de Bound For Glory

    Out on the trans-Canada highway
    There was a girl
    hitchhiking with her dog
    Fireflies buzzin' round her head
    Like candles in the fog.

    He was three miles down the road
    Tryin' to stay up,
    but he knew that he couldn't
    She was looking
    for a ride through the night
    But out there, who wouldn't.

    They were bound for glory
    Bound for living on the edge
    They were bound for each other
    Like two comets heading for a bed.

    She had a new way of living
    New way of looking at life
    He had an
    '84 International and two kids
    He left back home with his wife.

    He was tired of
    writin' letters to himself
    And living in the dark
    She was open to suggestions
    And some say
    she had a broken heart.

    He had everything he wanted
    'Til it all
    turned out to be a job
    One fallen asleep trucker
    And a girl
    hitchhiking with her dog.

    They were bound for glory
    Bound for living on the edge
    They were bound for each other
    Like two comets heading for a bed.

    She had a new way of living
    New way of looking at life
    He had an
    '84 International and two kids
    He left back home with his wife.

    Out on the trans-Canada highway
    The sun came climbing up the cab
    By the time it hit the window
    they were wakin' up
    From what little sleep they had.

    When that heat hit the blankets
    They were looking
    for love at second sight
    Just starin' in each others' eyes
    Findin' it in the mornin' light.

    They were bound for glory
    Bound for living on the edge
    They were bound for each other
    Like two blankets layin' on a bed.

    She had a new way of living
    New way of looking at life
    He had an
    '84 International and two kids
    He left back home with his wife.

    letra de Where Is The Highway Tonight?

    I would be feelin' so low
    She'd have a new place to go
    She'd take me in her arms
    And show me all her charms
    Until my troubles were gone.

    Then when I left her behind
    Never a tear could I find
    Just a haunting melody
    Comin' back to me
    Where is the highway tonight?

    Where is the highway tonight?
    Where are those old days
    and crazy nights?

    Now the house is
    all quiet and still
    Coyote howls on the hill
    How far did I go
    Before we said hello
    Where is the highway tonight?

    Darlin', you'll always be mine
    I'll never treat you unkind
    But a haunting melody
    Keeps comin' back to me
    Where is the highway tonight?

    Where is the highway tonight?
    Where are those old days
    and crazy nights?

    A haunting melody
    Keeps comin' back to me
    Where is the highway tonight?
