英文乡村歌曲：Long Time Gone—Dixie Chicks

（单词翻译）

daddy sits on the front porch¹ swingin'
look in' out on a bacon field
used to be filled with burning tobacco
now he knows it never will
my brother found work in indiana
sisters a nurse at the old folks home
momma still cooking too much for supper
and me i've been a long time gone
[chorus]
baby long time gone
no i aint hoed² a row since i don't know when
long time gone
and i aint comin' back again
amilia plays that old church piano
sittin' out on her daddy's farm
she always thought that we'd be together
lord i never meant to do her harm
said she could her me singin in the choir³
me i heard another song
i caught wind and hit the road runnin'
and lord i've been long time gone
[chorus]
baby long time gone
lord i aint had a purse since i don't know when
long time gone
and it aint commin' back again
now me i went to nashville
trying to beat the big deal
playing down to broadway
getin' in the ahrd way
livin' from a tip jar
sleepin' in mah car
huggin' my guitar ya im gonna be a staaaar
now me until your singin' every sunday
watchin' the children in the garden grove⁴
listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
but the music aint got....no soul!
now they sound tired but they don't sound haggard
they got money but they don;t got cash
they got junior but they don;t got hank
i thank i thank i thank the rest is....
[chorus]
long time gone
no i aint hit the roof since i don't know when
long time gone
and it aint commin' back
i said long time gone
no i aint parked a ford⁵ since i don't know when
long time gone
and it aint commin' back agaiiiin
i said a long time, long time, long time gone
oh it's been a long time
long time, long time, long time gooooone
oh it's been a long
tiiiiime
gooooone
long time, long time, long time gone... yea yea!
