歌词
I like your twisted point of view, Mike
我喜欢你性格中的小偏激，Mike
我喜欢你眉宇间混浊不清的怀疑
I like your questioning eyebrows
关于你想要的，你已经表达得很清晰
作为交换，我将告诉你我的秘密
You've made it pretty clear what you like
清晨我将离开
明年再回来
It's only fair to tell you now
你撅起嘴想索一个吻
或许，你应该把啤酒瓶塞在嘴里
that I leave early in the morning
因为——
爸爸是一个杂技演员
and I won't be back till next year
妈妈是一个摇滚歌手
在我还不会走路前
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
我就学会了弹吉他和玩套绳
汽车引擎开启，家即是海角天涯
but maybe you should plug it with a beer
爱是紧握方向盘的手
从不曾为露水之情过多停留
cause
所以，在你吻我前，你应该知道
我爸爸曾是个竞技表演员
Papa was a rodeo
舞台灯反射出的光芒
犹如一千只旋转的眼眸
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
它们让我觉得我根本不该来这里
不是吗，每一分钟，世界上都有人死去
I could play guitar and rope a steer
我们在这个潜水酒吧干嘛呢
你怎会生活在这样一个地方？
before I learned to stand
为何不坐上我的车呢？
让我把你带去远方
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
让我接受你的吻吧
爸爸是一个杂技演员
Love was a trucker's hand
妈妈是一个摇滚歌手
在我还不会走路前
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
我就学会了弹吉他和玩套绳
汽车引擎开启，家即是海角天涯
Before you kiss me you should know
爱是紧握方向盘的手
从不曾为露水之情过多停留
Papa was a rodeo
所以，在你吻我前，你应该知道
我爸爸曾是个竞技表演员
The light reflecting off the mirror ball
55年过去了
我们谱写过这个世纪的传奇
looks like a thousand swirling eyes
经历了这么多年的竞技表演生涯
我依然会有想哭的冲动
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all
每当想起你当初说的话
爸爸是一个杂技演员
You know, every minute someone dies
妈妈是一个摇滚歌手
在我还不会走路前
What are we doing in this dive bar
我就学会了弹吉他和玩套绳
汽车引擎开启，家即是海角天涯
How can you live in a place like this
爱是紧握方向盘的手
从不曾为露水之情过多停留
Why don't you just get into my car
所以，在你吻我前，你应该知道
我爸爸曾是个竞技表演员
and I'll take you away
啊！真巧
你爸爸也曾是个竞技表演员
I'll take that kiss now
Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of the century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying
when I think of what you said to me
（boy）Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
What a coincidence
your Papa was a rodeo too
