I Am A Town (PCM Stereo) - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]
Written by:Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:01]
I'm a town in Carolina[00:00:18]
I'm a detour on a ride[00:00:23]
For a phone call and a soda[00:00:28]
I'm a blur from the driver side[00:00:32]
I'm the last gas for an hour[00:00:37]
If you're going twenty five[00:00:41]
I am Texaco and Tobacco[00:00:46]
I am dust you leave behind[00:00:51]
I am peaches in September[00:00:56]
And corn from a roadside stall[00:01:01]
I'm the language of the natives[00:01:05]
I'm a cadence and a drawl[00:01:10]
I'm the pines behind the graveyard[00:01:15]
And the cool beneath their shade[00:01:19]
Where the boys have left their beer cans[00:01:24]
I am weeds between the graves[00:01:29]
Porches sag and lean with[00:01:35]
Old black men and children[00:01:38]
Their sleep is filled with dreams[00:01:44]
I never can fulfill them[00:01:47]
I am a town[00:01:53]
I am a church beside the highway[00:02:12]
Where the ditches never drain[00:02:17]
I'm a Baptist like my daddy[00:02:21]
And Jesus knows my name[00:02:26]
I am memory and stillness[00:02:31]
I am lonely in old age[00:02:35]
I am not your destination[00:02:40]
I am clinging to my ways[00:02:44]
I am a town[00:02:49]
I'm a town in Carolina[00:03:18]
I am billboards in the fields[00:03:22]
I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks[00:03:28]
Missing all my wheels[00:03:33]
I am pabst blue ribbon American[00:03:37]
And southern serves the south[00:03:41]
I am tucked behind the jaycees sign[00:03:46]
On the rural route[00:03:52]
I am a town[00:03:55]
I am a town[00:04:00]
I am a town[00:04:05]
Southbound[00:04:10]
