Outskirts

There's so much goin' on in this town

To keep me busy, I've been runnin' around

Up and down all these avenues
走在高低起伏的街上
Doin' everything but thinking 'bout you

As long as I stay on 'em, I'm fine

The city side of those city limit signs
限速牌排列在城市一側
You don't really cross my mind
你不曾出現在我的腦海

But soon as I get out here on the outskirts

I wish I was runnin' by your house first
便希望坐著你的馬前進
Something 'bout a summer in the South, sure

Shines like gold down these old
如黃金般閃耀
Round bail river valley backroads
照亮這些河流與山間小路
Way back in the holler where the grass grows
走在水草豐滿的歸途我一路高呼
God almighty, baby, we were that close
全能的上帝啊我們這般親近
To ditchin' this town and settlin' down
大可離開小鎮到別處定居
Out here on the outskirts
就在這片郊外吧

If I'd have had a lick of damn sense
如果我有數不清的壞心情
I'd be on the greener side of that fence
我就會走到種滿花草的籬笆這側
Little starter house we've finally outgrown
曾經的騎馬少年終究還是長大了
Twelve-hundred feet we're 'bout to add on
幾乎快要長到1200英尺
Smilin' out there watchin' them
微笑的看著他們
Big ol' yellow buckets 'bout to break ground
破舊的黃木桶馬上就要裂開
While you're shootin' all my baby names down (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
此刻你正寫著我們所有孩子的名字

But soon as I get out here on the outskirts
但不久當我走進郊區
I wish I was runnin' by your house first
便希望坐著你的馬前進
Something 'bout a summer in the South, sure
那是關於一場南方的夏天
Shines like gold down these old
如黃金般閃耀
Round bail river valley backroads
照亮這些河流與山間小路
Way back in the holler where the grass grows

I miss the stars in your eyes

We were gonna give up on the fast life
快節奏的生活幾乎快讓我們放棄
Have a couple babies, raise 'em up right
我們有很多孩子好好把他們養大吧
Take 'em to the river, get 'em baptized
帶他們到河邊來一個徹底的清洗
Back in our day, if I'd have just stayed
回到我們的二人生活我是否該留在當下
I wouldn 't be livin' in this condo

Hangin' out with Hailey from Toronto
和多倫多的海莉小姐同居
God almighty, baby, we were that close

To ditchin' uptown, puttin' roots down

Out here on the outskirts
就在這片郊外吧
