听力原文

  乔治·格伦·琼斯(George Glenn Jones,1931年9月12日-2013年4月26日),美国著名乡村音乐歌手,自1950年代起开始享誉美国流行乐坛,艺术生涯长达50余年,一生中有150多首乐曲登上美国乡村音乐榜。他被认为是酒吧音乐(Honky Tonk)风格的代表人物,1992年跻身乡村音乐名人堂,2012年获格莱美终身成就奖。

  乔治·琼斯最引以为傲的资本那就是他那无与伦比的嗓子,他的声音能够把很平庸的歌词唱出不一般的韵味。

  2013年4月26日,因病于田纳西州纳什维尔逝世。

  choices英文歌词:

  Chorus:

  I've had choices

  Since the day that I was born

  There were voices

  That told me right from wrong

  If I had listened

  No, I wouldn't be here today

  Living and dying

  With the choices I've made.

  I was tempted

  By an early age I found

  I liked drinkin'

  Oh, and I never turned it down

  There were loved ones

  But I turned them all away

  Now I'm living and dying

  With the choices I've made.

  Chorus:

  I've had choices

  Since the day that I was born

  There were voices

  That told me right from wrong

  If I had listened

  No, I wouldn't be here today

  Living and dying

  With the choices I've made.

  --- Instrumental ---

  I guess I'm payin'

  For the things that I have done

  If I could go back

  Oh, Lord knows I'd run

  But I'm still losin'

  This game of life I play

  Living and dying

  With the choices I've made.

  Chorus:

  I've had choices

  Since the day that I was born

  There were voices

  That told me right from wrong

  If I had listened

  I wouldn't be here today

  Living and dying

  With the choices I've made.

  --- Instrumental ---

  Living and dying

  With the choices I've made...
