歌词
Half of my high school got too drunk
高中玩伴的一部分 时常喝得酩酊大醉
Half of my high school fell in love
剩下的那些 他们都身陷爱情
With the girl next door
和邻家的姑娘
In their daddy's Ford
开着他们爸爸的老福特
Half of my main street's mini skirts
我面前的主干道 一半的人穿着迷你短裙
Half of my main street's dressed for church
剩下一半 则穿着正式 即将前往教堂
It could use some rain
就等天上下阵小雨
And a fresh coat of paint
将这小镇荡涤一新
Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
家乡的很多人仍然没有离开
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
还在谈论着那场比赛 那记触地得分
They're still wearin' red and black
依旧穿着红黑的球服
Go Bobcats, while the other half
给村里的球队加油 而剩下的那些
Of my hometown they all got out
他们已经离开了我的家乡
Some went north, some went south
各自分道扬镳 去了南方北方
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
依旧在寻找 我们从未体验过的感觉
So stay or leave, part of me will always be
无论是留下还是离开 我心里的那部分
Half of my hometown
始终属于我的家乡
Half of our prom queens cut their hair
当年的舞会皇后 悉数剪下了她们的长发
Half of them think that it ain't fair
剩下的一部分 仍在抱怨生活不公
The quarterback moved away and never came back
球队的四分卫搬家了 再也没有回来
Half of my family is happy I left
我家里的人很开心我离开了
The other half worries I'll just forget
但他们还是偶尔会担心
Where I came from
怕我忘了这养育我的地方
Same place where they came from
这也是他们长大的同一片土地
Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
家乡的很多人仍然没有离开
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
还在谈论着那场比赛 那记触地得分
They're still wearin' red and black
依旧穿着红黑的球服
Go Bobcats, while the other half
给村里的球队加油 而剩下的那些
Of my hometown they all got out
他们已经离开了我的家乡
Some went north, some went south
各自分道扬镳 去了南方北方
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
依旧在寻找 我们从未体验过的感觉
So stay or leave, part of me will always be
无论是留下还是离开 我心里的那部分
Half of my hometown
始终属于我的家乡
Half of my hometown
始终属于我的家乡
Backroads raise us
乡间小路 将我们抚养长大
Highways they take us

Memories make us wanna go back
而记忆深处的点滴 会让我们再次回到这里
To our hometown, settle down
回到我们的家乡 安顿下来
Talk about that one touchdown
约上三五好友 聊聊那场比赛 那记触地得分
Raise some kids in red and black
养几个孩子 带他们穿上红黑的球服
Go Bobcats, while the other half
给村里的球队加油 而其他的孩子啊
Of my hometown was in the crowd
他们会成群结队
They knew the words, they sang them loud
