Halfway Back To Birmingham

Summer after graduation
畢業後的那個夏天

兩個小孩被困在亞拉巴馬
Two kids stuck in Alabama
不管怎樣我倆將終成眷屬
We' d be lovers any way we could
舉辦一場簡樸的婚禮
A ten buck wedding ceremony
大樓外的那位朋友告訴我
A guy outside the courthouse told me
南部沙灘的天氣
The weather down in South Beach
真的是好極了
sure was good
那麼咱們就像夢想家般上路吧
So we hit the road like any dreamers would
.
曾和她相約邁阿密
She was mine for a time in Miami
想起曾牽過她的手放於我的掌心
Thought I had her in the palm of my hand
就像日出般真相把我震撼
Like the sunrise the truth finally hit me
她的心快回到了伯明翰
That her heart was halfway back to Birmingham
.
這不是她真的想要的
This ain't what she really wanted
親愛的，咱們回家去見媽媽吧
So baby we went on back to Mama
昨晚回家時找到一本筆記
Found a note when I got home last night
之後告別五十歲的老房東
Left a fifty for the landlord
這裡已經無可留戀
Nothin' here to stay around for
只有一種方法讓它有意義
Ain't but one way left to make it right
所以我回到了亞拉巴馬
So I'm headed for that Alabama line
.
曾和她相約邁阿密
She was mine for a time in Miami
但不是所有事都那麼如意
But things don't always fw9ork out like you plan
油快加滿了，外面還下著雨
Now I'm nearly out of gas and it's raining
但我前往伯明翰的路已走了一半
But I'm almost halfway back to Birmingham
.
就像日出般真相把我震撼
Like the sunrise the truth finally hit me
她的心快回到了伯明翰
That her heart was halfway back to Birmingham
