歌词
I'll write your name
我书尔名
Across the sky
穿九霄之外
And take away the stars
夜空繁星不再
Cos you light up the night
只剩你耀眼华彩
You as high as the moon
如明月遥不可及
When you're here with me
是我们此刻距离
That's why im gonna write your name
所以我要写下你的名字
For the world to see
让全世界为之着迷
门廊上又多了一瓶名字古老的酒
Another old name on the porch with the bottle
那把摇椅用行动呼应着风的演奏
Wind blows and the old rocking chair wobbles
他挥手，面对着欢迎的人群
Hes just the waving, everybody's welcome
谈及儿孙，他只能祈求"上帝帮帮他们!”
All he can say about the youth is lord help 'em
从未听到两个孙子出现在电话那头
Got a couple grand babies, but they never call though
孩子们远在芝加哥，他被扔在南部留守
?left? in the south and they moved to Chicago
妻子撒手人寰，他没了说话的伴
Wifes in heaven and, hes saying ever since
谈及越战的往事总是莫名心酸
Vietnam lifes been hard as a veteran
无聊的生活无药可救，一打又一打的冰镇啤酒
Simple life, ?shifting? six pack, yeah ice cold
绕远路去买彩票，就算刮开什么都没有
Across the georgia line for a ticket for the lotto
也许他的事迹不会被任何新闻提起
Probably never see his name in the headlines
但给我一架飞机，就能让他的名字响彻天际
But if I had a plane, I'd put it in the sky
阿拉巴马
Alabama
我书尔名
穿九霄之外
I'll write your name
夜空繁星不再
Across the sky
只剩你耀眼华彩
And take away the stars
如明月遥不可及
Cos you light up the night
是我们此刻距离
You as high as the moon
所以我要写下你的名字
When you're here with me
让全世界为之着迷
That's why im gonna write your name
她爱上了他，朋友们骂她傻瓜
For the world to see
起因是一见钟情，不可收拾的荷尔蒙火花
天真的小天使，懵懂的洋娃娃
She's in love, yeah, Friends call her crazy
意外怀孕的Brenda只有16岁啊
Met him at a party, they started dating
她被现实击垮，只能辍学回家
Daddy's little angel, Momma's little lady
更没有料到Jimmy的表现是如此的渣
Only 16 now Brenda's got a baby
他希望打掉孩子，你坚持对生命负责
She can't afford to, drop out of high school
想想在未来的九个月里，你到底该做些什么
Jimmy's not a man and he can't provide you
去能帮助你的地方，填好每一张表格
He doesn't want to, but you keep it anyhow
还可以找份工作，勉强维持生活
Nine months down the road, what you gonna do now
浑浑噩噩，你熬过了艰难时刻
Go to the food stamp, ?
多么振奋人心的故事，应该被载入史册
You can find a job, it'll help you get by
阿拉巴马
And you made it when you didn't know how
我书尔名
Now that's a real star put her name in the clouds
穿九霄之外
Alabama
夜空繁星不再
只剩你耀眼华彩
I'll write your name
如明月遥不可及
Across the sky
是我们此刻距离
And take away the stars
所以我要写下你的名字
Cos you light up the night
让全世界为之着迷
You as high as the moon
也许你永远都无法扬名立万
When you're here with me
也许老板从不欣赏你的埋头苦干
That's why im gonna write your name
也许你再努力都无法成为一线球员
For the world to see
也许你是金子，却一直长眠地底
但这一切都不会让你远离上帝的陪伴
You may never be on television or be the one
腰包塞得满满，那只是徒有其表
Your boss at work loves giving you employee of the month
小镇安宁的生活比你预想的更好
May never be the first dream on a champion team
因为有无数个“你”，世间万物才能各行其道
You may be the star the world just hasn't seen
阿拉巴马
But that don't make you any less of a star to God
我书尔名
Being rich is only realising it's all a facade
穿九霄之外
You're richer than you think in that old small town
夜空繁星不再
Cos people like you make the world go round
只剩你耀眼华彩
Alabama
如明月遥不可及
是我们此刻距离
I'll write your name
所以我要写下你的名字
Across the sky
让全世界为之着迷
And take away the stars
我书尔名
Cos you light up the night
穿九霄之外
You as high as the moon
夜空繁星不再
When you're here with me
只剩你耀眼华彩
That's why im gonna write your name
如明月遥不可及
For the world to see
是我们此刻距离
所以我要写下你的名字
I'll write your name
让全世界为之着迷
Across the sky
And take away the stars
Cos you light up the night
You as high as the moon
When you're here with me
That's why im gonna write your name
For the world to see
