Hello Ohio
你好,俄亥俄
The back roads
美麗的鄉間小道
I know Ohio
我熟悉它們
Like the back of my hand
就像熟悉我掌心裡的溝壑
Alone Ohio
俄亥俄就是那
Where the river bends
河流彎曲的地方
And its strange to see your story end
漸至終篇,我卻感到一絲異樣
In my life Ive seen a thousand dreams
我曾見過千百個夢想
Through the threshers all torn to pieces
在脫粒機的轟鳴中落成碎片
And the land lay bare
那塊裸地
Someone turned a profit there
成為掘金者的天堂
And a good son lost his life in a strip pit
可也有一個好男兒,被採石場壓斷了脊梁

It was summertime in 83
八三年夏天
We were burnin out at the rubber tree
我們的汗水都澆灌在了橡膠樹林
Wonderin what in the world would make all this worthwhile
卻還看不到做這些的意義
And if I knew then I was older then
假如當時的我不那麼無知,那麼幼稚
Would I see regret to the last mile
是否就能預見到最後的遺憾呢
