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
家乡的很多人仍然没有离开
Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
还在谈论着那场比赛 那记触地得分
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
依旧穿着红黑的球服
They're still wearin' red and black
给村里的球队加油 而剩下的那些
Go Bobcats, while the other half
他们已经离开了我的家乡
Of my hometown they all got out
各自分道扬镳 去了南方北方
Some went north, some went south
依旧在寻找 我们从未体验过的感觉
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
无论是留下还是离开 我心里的那部分
So stay or leave, part of me will always be
始终属于我的家乡
Half of my hometown
当年的舞会皇后 悉数剪下了她们的长发
剩下的一部分 仍在抱怨生活不公
Half of our prom queens cut their hair
球队的四分卫搬家了 再也没有回来
Half of them think that it ain't fair
我家里的人很开心我离开了
The quarterback moved away and never came back
我爸爸也十分确信 我一定不会忘记
Half of my family is happy I left
我不会忘了这养育我的地方
My Daddy knows that I won't forget
这也是他们长大的同一片土地
Where I came from
家乡的很多人仍然没有离开
Same place where they came from
还在谈论着那场比赛 那记触地得分
依旧穿着红黑的球服
Half of my hometown's still hangin' around
给村里的球队加油 而剩下的那些
Still talkin' about that one touchdown
他们已经离开了我的家乡
They're still wearin' red and black
各自分道扬镳 去了南方北方
Go Bobcats, while the other half
依旧在寻找 我们从未体验过的感觉
Of my hometown they all got out
无论是留下还是离开 我心里的那部分
Some went north, some went south
始终属于我的家乡
Still lookin' for a feelin' half of us ain't found
始终属于我的家乡
So stay or leave, part of me will always be
乡间小路 将我们抚养长大
Half of my hometown
高速公路 引领我们走向前方
Half of my hometown
而记忆深处的点滴 会让我们再次回到这里
回到我们的家乡 安顿下来
Backroads raise us
约上三五好友 聊聊那场比赛 那记触地得分
Highways they take us
养几个孩子 带他们穿上红黑的球服
Memories make us wanna go back
给村里的球队加油 而其他的孩子啊
他们会成群结队
To our hometown, settle down
他们知道那首歌的词 会大声将它唱出
Talk about that one touchdown
而我想做的 便只是让他们深感自豪
Raise some kids in red and black
只因我心里最柔软的地方
Go Bobcats, while the other half
仍在这田纳西的诺克斯维尔
Of my hometown was in the crowd
仍然牵挂着我的家乡
They knew the words, they sang them loud
它始终属于我的家乡
And all I wanna do is make them proud
'Cause half of me will always be
Knoxville, Tennessee
My hometown
'Cause I'm half of my hometown
