歌词
两个孩子被联合太平洋公司的火车撞了
Oh yeah, oh no, the train, the train.
他们在瓢泼大雨中搬运金属板和家用电器
Every 2 or 3 years, the train kills somebody.
原本计划着一毕业就结婚
Every 2 or 3 years, yeah.
生个宝贝女儿，麻烦来了就合力解决
Everybody knows about the train,
但天灾人祸终不可测
OK? You hear it constantly.
Eh, I— I think the train is a way to find your way out of this life, if you get hit by it
在这安静的小镇里，家庭关系很紧密
善良的人们，在夜里也不会插上门栓
A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train
在这个安静的小镇里
Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain
They were planning on getting married after graduation
当我们头一回听到阿片类药物的事情时，他们总在低声细语
Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down
如今充满悲伤的横幅标志着儿时家园的门前台阶
Things like that ain't supposed to happen
父母们在念宝贝女儿的悼词时恸哭
和儿女们共同获得了这如同“里程碑”的勋章
In this quiet town, families are tight
他们毫无生气地穿着西服或礼服躺在“那里”
Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
有的人一直在保守秘密
In this quiet town
在这个安静的小镇里，他们知道如何生存
When we first heard opioid stories, they were always in whispering tones
那些依靠耶稣的好人，他们更善解人意
Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes
在这个安静的小镇里
Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons
现在每当我走近城镇 我都会找些理由去给予
Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns
在我曾住过的地方 我将与生者死者同行
Somebody's been keepin' secrets
每当我看到我的亲人们正值盛年
给予他们的儿子难以忘却的爱
In this quiet town, they know how to live
害，幸运的是部分的“自我”仍然是那个纯洁无瑕的孩子
Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive
In this quiet town
在这安静的小镇里 如盐碱地一般的地方
如果你深陷困境 勤劳能干的人们必然会伸出援手
Now whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give
就在这 在这安静的小镇里
And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live
And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives
第一批干草的收割已经完成
Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down
放学时刻已近日暮
Well, part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky
周日的火车之上浓烟滚滚
远离了这座安静的小镇
In this quiet town, salt of the land
Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand
Here in this quiet town
The first crop of hay is up
School let out and the sun beats down
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
That cries away from a quiet town
