So I hopped on that train 于是我跳上了火车

It didn't come easy 它来得不易

But I keep thinkin' bout 但我一直在想回合

The green grass and missing my home 在绿草如茵，想念我的家

   

Take me back to my southern ways 带我回到我的南方式

Where I can be myself and live another day 在那里我可以做我自己和活一天

Take me back to my southern ways 带我回到我的南方式

Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face 凡高大的松树吹和南部的风亲吻我的脸

Me and my boys started a band 我和我的孩子们开始了乐队

Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land 每天都练出了地狱之家的土地上

Played every honky tonk and this ol' bar 玩过每一个低级夜总会，这OL “吧

To sing about Sweet 'Bama 要唱甜“巴马

We were just simple men 我们只是简单的男人

The music is forever 音乐是永远的

and the songs will never ever end 和歌永远不会结束

I sit here thinkin' about those days 我坐在这里想的那些日子

I wouldn't change a thing about my life today 我不会改变今天我的生活的事情
