Anni di giovinezza, vita di voluttà ...
come ne scorgo chiaramente il senso.

Quanti rimorsi inutili, superflui ...

Ma il senso mi sfuggiva, allora.

Nella mia giovinezza scioperata
si formavano intenti di poesia,
si profilava l'ambito dell'arte.

Perciò così precari i miei rimorsi!
E gl'impegni di vincermi e mutare,
che duravano, al più, due settimane.

Ryan Bingham - The weary kind ( Video Live e Testo )

Ryan Bingham ha vinto un premio Oscar per questo brano  inserito nella colonna sonora del film Crazy Heart ( 2009 ).



Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing to lose
This ain't no place for the weary kind

You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don't feel like home anymore





















And this ain't no place for the weary kind
This ain't no place to lose your mind
This ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your body aches
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same

Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
It doesn't forget
The highway that calls for your heart inside

And this ain't no place for the weary kind
This ain't no place to lose your mind
This ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your lover's warm kiss
Is too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world

Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing to lose
And this ain't no place for the weary kind
