half of my hometown (ballerini album version)

Half of my high school got too drunk
高中玩伴的一部分時常喝得酩酊大醉
Half of my high school fell in love
剩下的那些他們都身陷愛情
With the girl next door
和鄰家的姑娘
In their daddys Ford
開著他們爸爸的老福特
Half of my main streets mini skirts
我面前的主幹道一半的人穿著迷你短裙
Half of my main streets dressed for church
剩下一半則穿著正式即將前往教堂
It could use some rain
就等天上下陣小雨
And a fresh coat of paint
將這小鎮蕩滌一新

家鄉的很多人仍然沒有離開
Half of my hometowns still hangin around
還在談論著那場比賽那記觸地得分
Still talkin about that one touchdown
依舊穿著紅黑的球服
Theyre still wearin red and black
給村里的球隊加油而剩下的那些
Go Bobcats, while the other half
他們已經離開了我的家鄉
Of my hometown they all got out
各自分道揚鑣去了南方北方
Some went north, some went south
依舊在尋找我們從未體驗過的感覺
Still lookin for a feelin half of us aint found
無論是留下還是離開我心裡的那部分
So stay or leave, part of me will always be
始終屬於我的家鄉
Half of my hometown
當年的舞會皇后悉數剪下了她們的長發

剩下的一部分仍在抱怨生活不公
Half of our prom queens cut their hair
球隊的四分衛搬家了再也沒有回來
Half of them think that it aint fair
我家裡的人很開心我離開了
The quarterback moved away and never came back
我爸爸也十分確信我一定不會忘記
Half of my family is happy I left
我不會忘了這養育我的地方
My Daddy knows that I wont forget
這也是他們長大的同一片土地
Where I came from
家鄉的很多人仍然沒有離開
Same place where they came from
還在談論著那場比賽那記觸地得分

依舊穿著紅黑的球服
Half of my hometowns still hangin around
給村里的球隊加油而剩下的那些
Still talkin about that one touchdown
他們已經離開了我的家鄉
Theyre still wearin' red and black
各自分道揚鑣去了南方北方
Go Bobcats, while the other half
依舊在尋找我們從未體驗過的感覺
Of my hometown they all got out
無論是留下還是離開我心裡的那部分
Some went north, some went south
始終屬於我的家鄉
Still lookin for a feelin half of us aint found
始終屬於我的家鄉
So stay or leave, part of me will always be
鄉間小路將我們撫養長大
Half of my hometown
高速公路引領我們走向前方
Half of my hometown
而記憶深處的點滴會讓我們再次回到這裡

回到我們的家鄉安頓下來
Backroads raise us
約上三五好友聊聊那場比賽那記觸地得分
Highways they take us
養幾個孩子帶他們穿上紅黑的球服
Memories make us wanna go back
給村里的球隊加油而其他的孩子啊

他們會成群結隊
To our hometown, settle down
他們知道那首歌的詞會大聲將它唱出
Talk about that one touchdown
而我想做的便只是讓他們深感自豪
Raise some kids in red and black
只因我心裡最柔軟的地方
Go Bobcats, while the other half
仍在這田納西的諾克斯維爾
Of my hometown was in the crowd
仍然牽掛著我的家鄉
They knew the words, they sang them loud
它始終屬於我的家鄉
And all I wanna do is make them proud
Cause half of me will always be
Knoxville, Tennessee
My hometown
Cause Im half of my hometown
