Oklahoma Smokeshow
歌詞:
[English]
Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like
I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight
You always wind up here in a puddle of tears
Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood
In the back of a blue old pickup truck
You've got nowhere to go, although, you're all gussied up
There's so much whiskey in his coke, it'll make her nose bend
But she swears that his love is a damn Godsend
She's known God since she was a child
She used to play in the yard and she would dream of one day
'Til the world came around and took her dreamin' away
Told her how to dress and act and smile
She's an Oklahoma smokeshow
He's an asshole from back home
She'll never make it out alive
That small town bar scene
Where small vices kill your big dreams
He'd take you home but he's too drunk to drive
I'll be here, I've been up all night
Thinkin' about a life with you and I
One you'll never know
'Cause you're a small town smokeshow
Well, I'll be here, I've been up all night
Thinkin' about a life with you and I
One you'll never know
'Cause you're a small town smokeshow
...
Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like
I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight
You always wind up here in a puddle of tears
Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood
In the back of a blue old pickup truck
You've got nowhere to go, although, you're all gussied up
...

文法:
-
Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like
➔ 関係代名詞(限定用法)
➔ 「that all the bad boys like」という節は、どのドレスを指しているのかを修飾・限定しています。この節がないと、どの特定のドレスを着ればいいのかわからなくなるため、文の意味を理解する上で不可欠です。
-
I know your daddy ain't home so ride with me tonight
➔ 略式短縮形 (ain't), 命令形 (ride)
➔ "Ain't"は "is not/are not/am not/has not/have not"の短縮形であり、非常にくだけた表現です。「Ride」は命令形で、命令や指示を与えるために使用されます。省略された命令形です(「you ride」の「you」が省略されています)。
-
You always wind up here in a puddle of tears
➔ 句動詞 (wind up)
➔ "Wind up"とは、特定の状況や場所に最終的にたどり着くことを意味し、多くの場合、意図したものではありません。
-
Them boys are out and they're angry and they're lookin' for blood
➔ くだけた代名詞の使い方(「Those」の代わりに「Them」)
➔ 名詞の前に「those」の代わりに「them」を使用するのは、くだけた表現と見なされ、一部の方言では一般的です。歌詞に口語的な雰囲気を与えます。
-
There's so much whiskey in his coke, it'll make her nose bend
➔ 結果を表す「So...that」構文
➔ 「so much whiskey...that it'll...」という構造は、ウィスキーの量が非常に多いことを示しており、特定の結果(鼻が曲がる)を引き起こします。これは原因と結果を示しています。
-
She's known God since she was a child
➔ 現在完了形
➔ 現在完了形「has known」は、過去に始まり現在まで続いている行動を示します。幼少期から現在までの神との関係の継続期間を強調しています。
-
She'll never make it out alive
➔ 単純未来形 (willを使用)
➔ "She'll never make it out alive" は、未来に何が起こるかについての予測や信念を表現するために、単純未来形と「will」(「'll」に短縮)を使用しています。
-
He'd take you home but he's too drunk to drive
➔ 条件節 (混合)
➔ これは混合条件文です。現在の条件 (彼が酔っぱらっている) のために不可能である現在の仮想的な状況 (彼が彼女を家に連れて行く) を意味します。「He'd take」は「He would take」の短縮形であり、条件を表します。
