歌词
I was born in Rochester to a book-making man
我在罗切斯特一家书商家庭出生
Had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
买着假雪茄,而我在后面玩游戏
See them coming and going letting it ride on through breads
看着骑纯种马的人群人来人往
The police chief and Tom Hall wondering what was spread
警察局长和Tom Hall想知道正在传播的消息
I carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball
我肩背一个富人的包追赶一个白球
Learned the any soft place wasn't good for me at all
知道了任何舒服的地方对我来说都不安全
Daddy'd come home fired up looking for some sort of release
父亲愤怒地回到家想要发泄
He'd beat the hell of Timmy and Timmy'd beat the hell out of me
他把Timmy打个半死,而Timmy又把我打个半死
[02:25.76]I would hop the fence out to those government fields
我可以逃离这一切去往政府的地盘
[02:33.76]Run till there was nothing more to feel
一直跑到没有知觉
[02:41.07]Lying there,watching,please just disappear
躺在地上看着飞机消失在天边
[02:47.32]Knowing one day I'm gonna fly on out of here
躺在地上看着飞机消失在天边
The same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
大学第一天那个警察又找上我
Put my daddy in handchuffs and his picture on the front page
他逮捕了我父亲,还让他上了头条
Took every one of his suits and all my dignity
带走了父亲的衣服和我的尊严
I'd walk the halls of Irondequoit looking for any punk to set me free
走过法庭的过道,等待别人给我自由
Got that call to Vietnam,just like everyone else I knew
我可以逃离这一切去往政府的地盘
So scared of the hand grenades,threw them farther than any other troop
一直跑到没有知觉
Came home like an iron fist and Timmy tried to take my keys
躺在地上看着飞机消失在天边
Ripped open his from pocket that was the last time he touched me
躺在地上看着飞机消失在天边
Moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge
和大多数人一样收到了越南战争的征兵令
Met a mermaid on a glass boat and she promised me some kids
因为太害怕手雷,所以扔得比谁都远
Bought a house in Oregon where you could touch both of the walls
像“铁拳”一样回到家,Timmy想给我钥匙
Had a son named Benjamin and I was so scared of it all
匆忙得从他的口袋掏出钥匙,而那也是他最后一次碰我
Well,Benjamin walked in the front room where I was cutting up my hash
我搬家到了断桥镇西边的一座小岛上
Looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why I'd been so mad
见到了一位划着玻璃船的美人鱼,她愿意为我生下几个孩子
Flushed a quarter pround down the drain,praying for the mercy to confess
在勒冈州买了房子,自由自在
Trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest
生了一个叫本杰明的孩子,而我曾经是如此得害怕这些
We're gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
当本杰明走进客厅时,我正在狠狠剁着碎屑
Run like there was no more time to steal
看着他深邃的蓝色眼睛,我好奇我为什么会如此生气
My three boys and the grace of god revealed
我红着脸冲到院子里,跪下祈祷
Knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here
想要咒骂那个来自罗切斯特,来自我心里的男孩
