If the World Had a Front Porch

歌词
It was where my mama sat on that old swing with her crochet
那里是我母亲织毛衣的地方
It was where granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray
那里是我祖父教我祈祷教我咒骂的地方
It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights
那里是我们在炎热夏夜畅享冰淇淋的地方
Where the bulldog had her puppies, and us brothers had our fights
那里是狗狗们玩耍的地方,我和兄弟们打架的地方
There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out at the stars
那里是我在夜晚看星星的地方
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill or the hum of a passing car
那里有着夜鹰的叫声,有汽车经过的声音
It was where I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss
那里是我绷紧神经时体验初吻的地方
And it was where I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift
那里也是我下决心学会弹吉他的地方
If the world had a front porch like we did back then
如果这世界有个这样的门廊,像我们以前那样
We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
那么尽管差异无法消去,我们依然能够做朋友
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
对待你的邻居就像对待亲兄弟一样
Wouldn't be gone with the wind
而这种情谊不会淡去
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
如果这世界有个这样的门廊,像我们以前那样
Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share
帮邻居已经剥了许多豆子了
As lightening bugs and crickets danced in the evening air
萤火虫和蟋蟀在森林里的舞蹈引人入胜
And like a beacon that old yellow bulb, it always led me home
就像是信标一样领着我回家
Somehow mama always knew just when to leave it on
母亲也总是一样知道我会什么时候回到家
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
如果这世界有个这样的门廊,像我们以前那样
We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
那么尽管差异无法消去,我们依然能够做朋友
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
对待你的邻居就像对待亲兄弟一样
Wouldn't be gone with the wind
而这种情谊不会淡去
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
如果这世界有个这样的门廊,像我们以前那样
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
对待你的邻居就像对待亲兄弟一样
Wouldn't be gone with the wind
这种情谊不会随风逝去
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
如果这世界有个这样的门廊,像我们以前那样
