演唱：Alan Jackson阿兰.杰克逊
It was painted red the stripe was white
红色上和着白色条纹
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
船舷至尾灯部共有十八英尺
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
亚特兰大的一位二手店主出让了它
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
我跟爸爸开车去提的货
We put on a shine; put on a motor
我们把它擦得闪闪发亮
Built out of love, made for the water
并倾注了所有的爱
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
几年后 它的门窗开始变得松垮
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten
但孩提时的这段场景
It was just an old plywood boat
其实 那只是一条旧夹板小船
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
装有七五年约翰逊牌的电阻
A young boy two hands on the wheel
小男孩用一双小手握住方向盘
I can't replace the way it made me feel
过往的一切难以忘怀
And I would turn her sharp
我驾驶着它风驰电掣
And I would make her whine
汽笛阵阵
He'd say "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
父亲说:"你可不能这样对待木船"
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
这里只是阿拉巴马的一条小河
But I was king of the ocean When daddy let me drive
但当爸爸让我驾驶时
Just an old half ton shortbed Ford
其实那只是一辆半吨的福特车
My uncle bought new in '64
六四年 叔叔买来时他崭崭新
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
而辗转到爸爸手中时 发动机都在冒烟
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
模样已面目全非
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
他让我沿着公路行驶
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
把废物运到垃圾场
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
我端坐在那里 伸长腿 脚渐渐松开踏板
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
接到他的奖章时 露出英雄般的微笑
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
其实那只是一辆二手福特车
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
简陋的选速器及破损的车门
A young boy two hands on the wheel
小男孩用一双小手握住方向盘
I can't replace the way it made me feel
过往的一切难以忘怀
And I would press the clutch
按下离合器
And I would keep it right
我让它保持行驶在右车道
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
父亲则说:"悠着点 孩子 干得不错!"
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
我们行驶在尘土飞舞的大道上
But I was Mario Andretti
当爸爸让我驾驶时
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
我已长大 并拥有了三个女儿
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
我让她们驾着老吉普穿越自家的农场
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
也许有一天也会燃起这经典的一幕在她们记忆的火花中
And pull out the old memory
在她们记忆的火花中
And think of me and smile and say
以及我的微笑 也许她们会说
It was just an old worn out Jeep
其实那只是一辆老吉普
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
里面锈迹斑斑
A young girl two hands on the wheel
小女孩用一双小手握住方向盘
I can't replace the way it made me feel
过往的一切难以忘怀
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,
我总说:"向左转 往右拐
Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine"
表现不错 小姑娘 你现在越发出色"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
其实我们越过的只是河边的一个小山谷
But I was high on a mountain When daddy let me drive
当爸爸让我驾驶时 我感觉自己在山顶迎风招展
When daddy let me drive
当爸爸让我驾驶时
Oh he let me drive
他让我奔驰
Daddy let me drive
爸爸让我自由奔驰
It's just an old plywood boat
那其实只是一条旧夹板小船
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
装有七五年约翰逊牌的电阻
