A Promise and a Porsche - Allan Taylor (艾伦·泰勒)/Dieter Burmester/Ralf Gustke/Hans-Joerg Maucksch[00:00:00]
As my father lay dying[00:00:29]
I was holding his hand[00:00:32]
He said[00:00:36]
Son there's one thing you must understand[00:00:38]
When they dealt the cards[00:00:43]
I got the losing hand[00:00:45]
That's the way it played out for me[00:00:49]
'Cause I never got to ride in a real fast car[00:00:52]
Or get crazy drunk in a downtown bar[00:00:58]
I never even got[00:01:04]
To go that far[00:01:06]
And there was so much I wanted to see[00:01:09]
When he died his ashes[00:01:21]
Came home at last[00:01:23]
And I thought about what he would have wanted the most[00:01:27]
I bought a real fast Porsche and I d**ned the cost[00:01:32]
I strapped him in[00:01:36]
We hit the highway[00:01:39]
Hey old man[00:01:42]
Now you know how it feels[00:01:44]
Isn't she just the greatest[00:01:48]
Set of wheels she's a bright red beauty[00:01:51]
And she shines like a star[00:01:55]
And we're cruising like kings of the highway[00:01:57]
And we drove like the wind[00:02:10]
Down to London town[00:02:12]
And we got crazy drunk and started falling down[00:02:16]
And when a new day broke and we came around[00:02:21]
I took him down[00:02:25]
To look at the sea[00:02:27]
We stood on Brighton Beach where it all began[00:02:31]
Where my father's son[00:02:36]
Became a man[00:02:39]
And I said to him[00:02:41]
Now you can understand[00:02:44]
What you have meant[00:02:47]
To me[00:02:49]
'Cause I got you that ride[00:02:59]
In a real fast car[00:03:01]
And we got crazy drunk in a downtown bar[00:03:05]
And we made it together[00:03:10]
And we've come this far[00:03:12]
And I did it all[00:03:15]
For you[00:03:17]
Now when I drive that Porsche it means the world to me[00:03:22]
'Cause I can be the man he always[00:03:28]
Wanted to be[00:03:31]
And if somehow[00:03:34]
He's looking down on me[00:03:36]
I know he'll smile and he'll say[00:03:40]
You did it all[00:03:42]
If somehow[00:03:46]
He's looking down on me[00:03:48]
I know hell smile and he'll say[00:03:50]
Hey[00:03:53]
You did it all[00:03:55]
