Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Carpenter
[00:19.31] I'm a town in Carolina,
[00:23.93] I'm a detour on a ride
[00:28.37] For a phone call and a soda,
[00:32.37] I'm a blur from the driver's side
[00:37.56] I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five
[00:46.68] I am Texaco and tobacco,
[00:51.68] I am dust you leave behind
[00:56.62] I am peaches in September,
[01:01.24] and corn from a roadside stall
[01:04.31]
[01:06.11] I'm the language of the natives,
[01:08.55]
[01:10.68] I'm a cadence and a drawl boys have left their beer cans
[01:19.45]
[01:20.13] I am weeds between the graves.
[01:22.26]
[01:25.26] My porches sag and lean with old black men and children
[01:32.76]
[01:35.69] Their sleep is filled with dreams,
[01:38.26]
[01:53.76] I never can fulfill them I am a town.
[02:01.01]
[02:12.88] I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain
[02:22.07] I'm a Baptist like my daddy,
[02:26.82] and Jesus knows my name
[02:31.21] I am memory and stillness,
[02:35.71] I am lonely in old age;
[02:40.64] I am not your destination
[02:44.96] I am clinging to my ways I am a town.
[02:50.02]
[03:19.03] I'm a town in Carolina,
[03:23.22] I am billboards in the fields
[03:28.23] I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks,missing all my wheels
[03:37.48] I am Pabst Blue Ribbon, American, and "Southern Serves the South"
[03:47.35] I am tucked behind the Jaycees sign,
[03:52.29] on the rural route I am a town
[03:57.61]
[04:00.73] I am a town I am a town Southbound.
