歌词
She used to come over to my house,
离我家不过几英里的距离
She only lived a few miles away
她曾经常来我家玩耍
I never knew why but my mama said
我也不知道为什么，但我妈妈说
If she wanted to she could stay
如果她愿意的话就可以留下
A pretty little girl who fought like a boy,
一个耍起来像男孩的漂亮小女孩
But she wanted to hold my hand
却总是让我挽着她
And the little blue dress that she always wore,
她总穿的那件蓝色连衣裙
Yeah it might have been her only friend
可能是她唯一的朋友了吧
.
I remember that summer like yesterday
那年夏天想起来犹如昨日
She used to hang around all the time
她还常常悠闲地漫步
Down by the creek we would always play
在我们经常玩耍的小溪边
And tell secrets by the porch light
跟我诉说着门灯的闲话
Shy as a bird and timid as a flower,
害羞的像一只鸟儿，柔弱的像一朵花儿
I wonder where she grew up
我很想知道她是在哪里长大
I never really thought that much about it,
我其实并没有多想这个问题
But everybody said her daddy was the town drunk
不过大家都说，她有个嗜酒如命的爸爸
.
Broken like a bottle,
她像一只被丢弃的酒瓶，支离破碎
Running from the only home she ever had,
想要逃离那个唯一的家
Tangled in the talk behind her back
她的话语中透漏出无限的纠结
Yeah he thought she was nothing,
觉得自己只是个无所谓的存在
Growing like a **** on the wrong side of the tracks
像路边长错了位置的野草
How could anyone not love a girl like that
我想不通，怎么会有人不去疼爱她？
.
One afternoon in the middle of town
有一天下午，在镇子的中心
I saw her daddy sleeping on a bench
我看到躺椅上躺着她的爸爸
So I walked up and introduced myself
于是走上前自我介绍
And said his daughter was my best friend
说他的女儿是我最好的朋友
He looked at me like he didn't care
他不并在乎的看了我一下
And asked me for a couple of bucks
问我要了一点零钱
Right then I decided that I'd look after
自那以后我决定要去照顾她
That pretty little girl whose daddy was the town drunk
那个漂亮的小女孩，有个嗜酒如命的爸爸
.
Broken like a bottle,
她像一只被丢弃的酒瓶，支离破碎
Running from the only home she ever had,
想要逃离那个唯一的家
Tangled in the talk behind her back
她的话语中透漏出无限的纠结
Yeah he thought she was nothing,
觉得自己只是个无所谓的存在
Growing like a **** on the wrong side of the tracks
像路边长错了位置的野草
How could anyone not love a girl like that, girl like that
我想不通，怎么会有人不去疼爱她？
.
Broken like a bottle,
她像一只被丢弃的酒瓶，支离破碎
Running from the only home she ever had,
想要逃离那个唯一的家
Tangled in the talk behind her back
她的话语中透漏出无限的纠结
Yeah he thought she was nothing,
觉得自己只是个无所谓的存在
Growing like a **** on the wrong side of the tracks
像路边长错了位置的野草
How could anyone not love a girl like that, girl like that

Several years later I read in the paper
几年后我在报纸上看到
That her daddy had passed away

I was holding her hand, she had the baby in the other
我牵着她的手，她一只手抱着孩子
And there was really nothing I could say
我也确实不知道该说啥
She looked at me and I gave her a kiss
她看着我，我吻了一下她脸颊
All that mattered was the three of us
我们一家三口在一起才是最重要的吧
Nobody thought it would all work out
没有人会想到她会是今天这样
For that pretty little girl
那个漂亮的小女孩
Whose daddy was the town drunk
她曾经有个嗜酒如命的爸爸
