歌词
He was sitting beside me in the passenger seat
当我透过风挡，看着静谧的街道
As I looked through the windshield at the quiet little street
他正坐在我身边的副驾
He was smiling so proud as he gave me the key
他灿烂地笑着递给我钥匙
But inside, I knew he was as nervous as me
但我知道，他的内心与我一样焦虑
And I said, daddy, oh daddy, are you sure I know how
我说，爸爸啊爸爸，你确不确定我...
Are you sure that I'm ready to drive this car now
你确不确定我可以开始发动这辆汽车
He said, I'm right here beside you, and you're gonna do fine
他说，我就在你身边，一切都会没问题的
All you gotta do is keep it between the lines
你的车只管在线内行进
'Cause it's a long narrow road
因为这只是一条长而窄的路
Only the good Lord knows where it leads in the end, but you got to begin
只有上帝才知道它通向何方、尽于何处，但你确实该上路了
So, keep your hands on the wheel, believe in the things that are real
掌握好你的方向盘，去相信那些真正存在的事物
Just take your time, and keep it between the lines
你只用慢慢来，并且在线内行进
I was sitting in my chair and sneaking a look at him
我坐在椅子上，偷偷地瞥向他
Lying on the floor with his coloring book
他正卧在地板上摆弄着涂鸦薄
Then he caught me watching, and he climbed on my knee
他发觉了我的目光，爬到了我的膝上
He said, daddy, oh daddy, would you do one with me
他说，爸爸啊爸爸，你能跟我一起画吗
Then I hugged him so tightly as we turned the page
翻动书页的时候，我紧紧地搂着他
Said, I haven't done this since I was your age
说，我自从你这么大的时候，就不曾再画过这些了
He said, I'm right here beside you, and you're gonna do fine
他说，我就在你身边，一切都会没问题的
Daddy, all you gotta do is keep it between the lines
爸爸，你的笔尖只管在线内行进
So we finished the picture, and I put him to bed
我们完成了涂鸦，我哄他进入了梦乡
Got down on my knees and I bowed my head
双膝跪地，低徊垂头
And I said, father, oh father, I feel so alone
我说，爸爸啊爸爸，我是如此的孤独
Are you sure I can raise him with his mommy gone
你确不确定，我能把失去妈妈的他抚养成人
Then the answer came back so gentle and low
爸爸的答案低声回荡
And words of my daddy from so long ago
穿透时空：
Said, I'm right here beside you, and you're gonna do fine
我就在你身边，一切都会没问题的
All you gotta do is keep it between the lines
你只管在线内行进
So keep your hands on the wheel, believe in the things that are real
掌握好你的方向，去相信那些真正存在的事物
Take your time, and keep it between the lines
慢慢来，并且在线内行进
Just take your time, and keep it between the lines
只用慢慢地走，并且在线内行进
