歌词
It was on an Indiana farm in the middle of the country
美国中部的印第安纳的一个农场里
Growin' in the fields of grain, Jim Dean of Indiana
印第安纳的吉姆·迪恩，在谷地里长大
His mother died when he was a boy, his father was a stranger
他很小时母亲就死了，又被父亲抛弃了
Marcus Winslow took him in, nobody seemed to want him
马库斯·温斯洛收留了他，似乎没人想要他
雇工唱起歌来就像刮风打雷，再不尽兴就把他揍一顿
The hired man sang like a storm, sometimes he'd beat him
因为他永远不会做家务，他时常做噩梦
'Cause he would never do the chores, he was lost in dreaming
他从来就不跟庄稼地里的那帮农民一起玩
He never seemed to find a play with the flatlands and the farmers
所以有一天他不得不离开，他说要当演员
So he had to leave one day, he said to be an actor
有一次他带着舞台上的小明星们回到农场
伙伴们进到他的房间里锁上门，人们都过来围观
Once he'd come back to the farm with starlets from the stages
一个邻居从电影院跑出来，把鸡都吓飞了
They locked themselves inside his room, the people turned their faces
他发誓他在屏幕上看到了印第安纳的吉姆·迪恩
A neighbor ran from the movie house, chickens they were scattered
他扮演一个四海为家，亡命天涯的男孩
He swore he saw upon the screen, Jim Dean of Indiana
伸手去摸一个人，一个阴影里的陌生人
吉姆带着温斯洛一家去了电影城，横穿整个国家
He played a boy without a home, torn with no tomorrow
温斯洛一家希望他能留下来，把这里当自己家一样
Reaching out to touch someone, a stranger in the shadow
他和一家人谈了半个小时，但他得去参加赛车比赛
The Winslows left for the movie town, they drove across the country
他去了葡萄藤路，他们一家回到印第安纳州
They hoped that he would stay around and they hoped he would be friendly
马库斯·温斯洛从收音机里听到一个电影明星快要死了
他把声音调低，好让孩子奥腾斯继续睡觉
He talked to them for half an hour but he was busy racing
当人们把吉姆送到农场时，雇工们在那里等候着
He left for the Grapevine Road, they left for Indiana
正如人们从小对他说的那样，风无声地吹过谷地
Then Marcus heard on the radio that a movie star was dying
他们把他埋在了路的尽头，离农舍一英里远
He turned the tuner way down low, so Ortense could go on sleeping
我在那里为印第安纳州的吉姆 · 迪恩放了一朵花
It was not until they reached the farm where the hired man was waiting
The wind rushed silent through the grain, it was just as they had told him
They buried him just down the road, a mile from the farm house
That is where I placed a flower for Jim Dean of Indiana
