歌詞:

[English]

They came in thinkin' top dollar

To that old cotton crop farmer

They knocked on his screen door, and he said

"Lord, what you need, boys," and they said

"You know all the others went and cashed out

We got the subdivision all mapped out

It'll sit right here on this land

And you can leave town a rich man"

And he said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough

'Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there

I still see her pink bow in her brown hair

She's in the big city, but she still calls home

What's she gonna do if she comes back, and we're gone?

And over there, under that wide oak tree

Beneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried

Lasted 13 huntin' season runnin' strong

Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog

And over there is where I got down on one knee

You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"

One man smiled and he kinda looked away

The other said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing

Between the droughts and the floods through all the years

What in the world got you through?

How the hell'd you get here?" And he said

"That little girl that used to swing right there

I still see her pink bow in her brown hair

Runnin' up after one of them long days

A big smile makin' every little worry fade

And over there, under that wide oak tree

Beneath the cross, where my best buddy's buried

All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a Jon boat

Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke

And that woman that said yes when I got down on one knee

Yeah, you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"

No, it ain't somethin' you fall into

It's somethin' God gives you

And you hold on to

...

Just like that little girl who used to swing right there

I still see her pink bow in her brown hair

She's in the big city now, but she still calls home

She's comin' back next week, and man, it's been too long

And over there, under that wide oak tree

Beside the cross, where my best buddy's buried

Lays a puppy posted up in the shade

That woman never could turn away a stray

I guess this's why she said, "Yes" when I got down on one knee

Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?

And you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap

文法:

  • They came in thinkin' top dollar

    ➔ 動名詞 (thinkin')

    ➔ ここで、「thinkin'」(thinking)は名詞として機能し、何かを考える行為を表しています。口語的な話し方/歌では、「-ing」で終わる単語から「g」を省略することがよくあります。完全な節は「They came in, thinking they would get top dollar」となります。

  • You know all the others went and cashed out

    ➔ 句動詞: "cashed out"

    "Cashed out"とは、投資を現金に換える、または何かをお金で売るという意味です。

  • Whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough

    ➔ 関係詞節の省略 (Whatever you're offering)

    "Whatever you're offering"は文の主語として機能します。暗示されている完全な節は「No matter what it is that you are offering」となります。「Whatever」は先行詞と関係代名詞自体を組み合わせた融合関係代名詞として機能します。

  • Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there

    ➔ "that"を使った関係詞節(限定的)

    ➔ 「that used to swing right there」という句は、関係詞節で「a little girl」を修飾しています。「that」は節を導入し、名詞「girl」を参照する関係代名詞です。「used to」は過去の習慣や状態を表します。

  • What's she gonna do if she comes back, and we're gone?

    ➔ 仮定法 (タイプ 1) と口語的な "gonna"

    ➔ これは、未来における現実的な可能性を表す1型仮定法です。「If she comes back, what will she do?」が基本的な構造です。「Gonna」は「going to」の口語的な短縮形です。

  • Lasted 13 huntin' season runnin' strong

    ➔ 関係詞節の省略 / 形容詞句

    ➔ このフレーズは、「huntin' season」の説明として機能します。関係代名詞と助動詞が省略された省略された関係詞節として解釈できます(例:「which was running strong」)。「Huntin'」は形容詞として使用され、口語的な言語では一般的です。

  • Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog

    ➔ 口語的な短縮形(「cause」)と助動詞(「can't」)

    ➔ 「Cause」は「because」の口語的な短縮形です。「Can't」は「cannot」の短縮形であり、不可能や不能を表す助動詞です。

  • Yeah, you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap

    ➔ 助動詞(「can't」)と副詞としての形容詞(「dirt cheap」)

    ➔ 「Can't」(cannot)は不可能を表します。「Dirt cheap」は複合形容詞で、ここでは副詞的に機能し、「buy」を修飾しています(「dirt cheap」な方法では購入できません)。副詞の代わりに形容詞を使用することは、口語的な話し方では一般的です。
