歌词
Way out west we got the oil and wind
德州西部啊，石油埋在地下 风在空中吹
One you can pump, one you can spin
一个能用泵抽，一个能吹着转(风力发电机)
Both make money, both make sense
两样都挣钱，也都能说得通
Some folks love it, some take offense
有的人想这么干，有的人却不同意
I got no issue, 'cause I'm in between
而我就感觉都还行，因为我啊
This flatland life and a south plains dream
感觉在这平原上的生活也可以，但是我也挺想发财的
We got folks that say they won't come back
我们总是听说有人在这里实在顶不住了溜了溜了
But they can't saty away from the ol' pumpjack
但是他们看着那一台台采油机还贼眼馋
In a place that looks like time's forgotten
这些地方看起来像是早就被遗弃了
But all I see is the hightest cotton
但是我看见的却是满眼茁壮的棉花
I got no issue, 'cause I'm in between
我对这没啥话可说，毕竟我啊
This flatland life and a south plains dream
也在这平原上过着这样有梦想的生活
We're all out here
烂七八糟的事，咱也不掺和
We know what it's about here
所以我们知道到底是啥情况
When the crude goes up
当油价又上去了
You know it's gonna come down
你也知道它肯定会跌下来
Ride the wind through the highs and lows
不论一夜暴富还是一贫如洗
Find a place in between
乘着风找到自己的安心地
This flatland life and a south plains dream
就是在这平淡生活和远大梦想之间
We got Republicans and Democrats
这又是共和党，又是民主党
SEMI-EDUCATED aristocrats
还有一群没上过几天学的公务员
People who claim to have seen the light
有人说看见了主的降临
And those who wanna stay out all night
还有的人只想整晚在外面土嗨
There's red and there's blue
这里有红色的土地，蓝色的天
But they all love green
但他们却想着把这里变得春满园
In this flatland life and a south plains dream
在平原上的日子里总是有花里胡哨的想法
Yeah we're all out here
这些乱七八糟的事，我们可不插一脚
We know what it's about here
所以这些问题我们也看的清清楚楚
When the crude goes up
别看今天油价涨上去了
You know it's gonna come down
指不定明天就给你掉下来
Ride the wind through the highs and lows
无论是身份显贵还是无名之辈
Find a place in between
乘着风找到自己的位置
This flatland life and a south plains dream
过好自己的生活，追寻自己的梦想
When the wells get capped and the wind won't blow
等到石油挖空井被封，原上不再刮大风
And the skies dry up
万里天空没云彩
And dandelions don't grow
就连蒲公英也长不出来
No one will care to fuss or fight
也就没人会在意这些小打小闹之间
About who was wrong or who was right
究竟是谁对谁错
In the end, we'll all lay beneath
到头来，我们就都倒在地上
This flatland life and a south plains dream
被这平原上的生活和发财梦踩在脚下
We're all out here
我们从来不操心这些烦人的琐事
We know what it's about here
但是我们是真的知道究竟是怎么一回事
When the crude goes up
生活也就是这样
You know it's gonna come down
起起落落，上下沉浮
Ride the wind through the highs and lows
放平心态乘着风
Find a place in between
找到自己最轻松
This flatland life and a south plains dream
过好自己每一天，心怀梦想意志坚
This flatland life and a south plains dream
这就是在这平原上的生活和我们平凡的梦想
