歌词
Hometown USA - Slaid Cleaves
It's closing time tonight in Harlan
今夜小镇Harlan已经入眠
Set the alarm turn out the lights
设好闹钟关上电灯
Not a soul out on the sidewalk
她从夜色中归家
As she steps into the night
街道上空无一人
Across the parking lot she fumbles
翻着包 她左找右找
In her handbag for the keys
总算找到了钥匙
Another long day of thank yous
昨日还是光鲜亮丽
Yes ma'am's and may I help you please
服务生问候‘你好，女士。’
Sure didn't turn out like she planned
这一切乃意料之外
She thought she'd be a star by now
她本该是夺目绚人
Dodging paparazzi cameras
躲避着狗仔们的相机
But she's in Harlan still somehow
但如今回到了老家
What happened to the leading lady
她到底经历了什么
Living her life upon the stage
舞台上她曾掌控全局
Still only working as an extra
如今只是‘故乡美国’这部电影里
In a film called hometown USA
无足轻重的小角色
Now somewhere south of town on 40
联邦40号公路上
A Greyhound bus rolls through the night
破旧的巴士在黑夜中穿行
Staring out a greasy window
车窗老旧而油腻
He keeps searching for the lights
他望着窗外 寻找亮光
No choice but head back home to Harlan
别无他法 只能返回Harlan
When foreclosure shut him down
当抵押的物品全部给了银行
And after all that he had worked for
他在外多年风风雨雨
Just to end up right back in your hometown
到头来还是回到了小镇
What happened to the ride 'em cowboy
这个牛仔经历了什么
Living his life out on the range
曾经他是大牧场的主人
He's just another hired hand now
如今在这里打个下手
In a film called hometown USA
帮忙拍‘故乡美国’这部电影
Now they don't know their fate is turning
命运的转变悄然到来
They're drifting closer in the dark
他们在黑暗中靠近
And as he steps in for a quick one
他赶着去喝酒解渴
She’s already at the bar
吧台前她独自小酌
Tonight her lines will come so natural
今夜她的台词讲得如此自然
And he'll tell tales of trails he rode
他也讲述起马上所见的风光
They'll fall in love beneath the neon
橡树下他们悄然相爱
Tonight they're gonna steal the show
今夜他们是这小酒馆的主角
Sure didn't turn out like they planned
当然又是场出乎意料
But now they've found their own true way
但是如今知道生活该走向何处
It's not the big break that they dreamed of
这不是他们曾梦想的大成就
But you know they're gonna be okay
但你知道他们会处得不错
It's not a bad part after all now
结局终究不算坏
In a film called hometown USA
在这部叫‘故乡美国’的电影里
