Turning Home (Album Version)

Usually take one last pass through town
每當我離開這座小鎮
Stop the car and touch the ground
我都會將車在最後緩緩停下

回頭看看那些在微風中搖曳的路燈
Watch those streetlights swayin' in the breeze
裝飾華麗的店面前

那生鏽的舊燃氣泵
Decorated store fronts
試圖在我離開之前

充實我的內心
Rusty old gas pumps
滿載回憶的明信片

要知道它們一直陪伴著我
Try to fill my mind up
我不知道有沒有哪個小鎮

像家鄉那樣
With somethin' before I go
即使遠隔千里

卻彷彿自己一直身在其中
Picture postcard memories
在我內心深處

如同橡樹年輪般深刻
know You they always make for good company
離開家的那個星期天仍記憶猶新

促使我想回家了
I don't know no town
隻身站在廣告燈牌下

不禁想起那些秋夜
Like the old town
我們到達機場時

家鄉的看台上擠滿了人群
Even when the miles are many
我踏出飛機艙門

很晚才從機場走出來
I feel like I'm still around
儘管不能一帆風順

最終我們都能順利到家
Deep inside me
現在輝煌的日子

也不如往日
Like rings through an oak tree
我不知道有哪個朋友

像老朋友那樣
Yeah, there something 'bout a Sunday when I'm gone
似乎我現在

沒有像以前那樣笑過了
That keeps me turning home
但在我內心深處

一塊記憶的碎片
standin' I'm here beneath these billboard lights
即使他們都走了但我還能聽見他們的聲音

促使我想回家了
Takes me back to those autumn nights
不會再有第二次相同的開始

果然她已經偷走了我的心
Hometown bleachers packed real tight
在舊體育館內，我徘徊了一晚上

即使我們都很努力地等待
we As marched down the field
我們一起醞釀了這甜美的愛情

祈禱著這一切屬於我
My feet would a swing from dropped tailgate
隨著畢業到來

我們一起的時間隨著消散
Out on Airport Road real late
我不知道有哪段戀情

像初戀那樣
No one could walk a line too straight
當我回憶最美的時光
usually We made it home alright
第一個想到的就是她

在我內心深處
And glory days I cant re-live
儘管這一切帶著苦澀

我還能依稀看見她的笑容即使她離開了
Stories I'll never forget
我想回家了

啊，我想回家了
And I know don't no friends

Like the old friends

I never to seem laugh now

Like I did with them

But deep inside me

A piece of history

Yeah, I hear their voices even though they're gone

And it keeps me turning home

Never twice the same way does it start

And sure enough she stole my heart

On the old gym floor, spinnin' round and round one night

And though we tried both hard to wait

We sure did love the taste

Of the sweet being love made and prayin' got I it right

Graduation came and went

Along with all the time we spent

And I don't know no love

Like the first love

When I think about the best times

She's the one I think of

Deep inside me

All though the taste is bittersweet

I see her smilin' even though she's gone

And it keeps me turning home, yeah

And it keeps me turning home
