American Livin'
There aint much to see here
這邊沒有什麼可看的
Its what they say
人們如此告訴我
You just grow up then move away
你終究會長大接著搬走
Cause one red light and white picket fences
因為一盞紅燈還有白色的柵欄
Cant cage a wild heart in
關不住你這顆狂野的心
Head for the city, make a little money
你會前往城裡發上一筆小財
Find a good girl if you get lucky
如果你足夠幸運還能認識一個好姑娘
One day youll wake up
有一天你醒來會發現
And somethings gone missin
彷彿有什麼不見了
Youll sure miss the way back when
你會懷念過去的時光
When life was a Mellencamp song
那時生活就像馬倫坎普的一首歌
It was faded blue jeans
或是一條褪色的牛仔褲
On the hood of a hand -me-down Chevy
坐在一輛二手雪佛蘭的引擎蓋上
With all your first best friends
身旁是你最初的一群好友
And time says you cant go back
時間說你無法回到過去
Oh, but just like that
但就像那樣
You know what it is youve been missin
你會明白你所懷念的是什麼
Friday night, small town
那便是周五夜裡小鎮的氣氛
American livin
屬於你的美國生活
I sure missed leaving the doors unlocked
我當然也會懷念當年無需鎖門的日子
Worms on the shovel, fish off the dock
鐵鏟上的蛀蟲碼頭旁的魚兒
Mud up the fender, let down the window
擋板泥濘不堪你會搖下車窗
Hand flying free in the window
手在風中肆意舞動
I sure liked knowing all my neighbors
我當然也會懷念當年所有的鄰居
Back when I really meant see you later
那時我們說的一會兒見也真的是一會兒再見
Football lights and fall county fairs
橄欖球賽場的聚光燈還有秋天的市集
And kissing on Ferris wheels
還有坐在摩天輪上與她擁吻
When life was a Mellencamp song
那時生活就像馬倫坎普的一首歌
It was faded blue jeans
或是一條褪色的牛仔褲
On the hood of a hand-me-down Chevy
坐在一輛二手雪佛蘭的引擎蓋上
With all your first best friends
身旁是你最初的一群好友
And time says you cant go back
時間說你無法回到過去
Oh, but just like that
但就像那樣
You know what it is youve been missin
你會明白你所懷念的是什麼
Friday night, small town
那便是周五夜裡小鎮的氣氛
American livin
屬於你的美國生活
And one day
終有一天
Theres a for sale sign on the edge of town
小鎮那頭你會掛出那塊待售招牌
And your roots seem to find their way
落葉歸根你也會找到歸宿
Back in the ground
回到這片土地
Well, life is a Mellencamp song
那時生活就像馬倫坎普的一首歌
Its faded blue jeans
或是一條褪色的牛仔褲
On the hood of a hand-me-down Chevy
坐在一輛二手雪佛蘭的引擎蓋上
With all your first best friends
身旁是你最初的一群好友
And time says you cant go back
時間說你無法回到過去
Oh, but just like that
但就像那樣
You get what it is youve been missin
你會明白你所懷念的是什麼
Friday night, small town
週五夜裡小鎮的氣氛
American livin
你的美國生活
A little Friday night, small town livin
輕鬆的周五之夜小鎮的閒適生活
