In my little town I grew up believing
God keeps His eye on us all
And he used to lean upon me as I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall in my little town
神の光はすべての人に注がれている
生まれ故郷のちっぽけな町で
そう信じて育った
壁に向かって誓いの言葉を述べながら
重荷に感じていたんだ
主よ 今でも僕は思い出す
故郷の町を
Comin' home after school flyin' my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doin' the laundry hangin' out shirts in the dirty breeze
放課後は自転車に飛び乗って
工場の門の前を走り抜ける
母さんはいつも洗い物
澱んだ風にシャツを干していた
And after it rains there's a rainbow and all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there it's just imagination they lack
Everything's the same back in my little town
My little town my little town
雨上がりの虹は黒一色
色彩が欠けていたわけじゃない
無かったのは僕のイマジネーション
なに一つ変わりはしない
僕の生まれた町では
Nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
Nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
死人と死にかけた人以外
誰も居ない
僕の故郷には
In my little town I never meant nothin'
I was just my father's son
Savin' my money dreamin' of glory
Twitchin' like a finger on the trigger of a gun
子供の頃は
父親の息子というだけ
小遣いを貯めて
ましな未来を夢見ていた
銃の引き金にかけた
ぴくぴく震えている指のように
Leavin' nothin' but the dead and dying back in my little town
Nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
Nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
Nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
Nothin' but the dead and dyin' back in my little town
