歌词:

[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

语法:

  • They came in thinkin' top dollar

    ➔ 动名词 ('thinkin')

    ➔ 这里,“thinkin'”(thinking)充当名词,表示思考的行为。在非正式的口语/歌曲中,省略以“-ing”结尾的单词中的“g”是很常见的。完整的句子是“They came in, thinking they would get top dollar.”

  • You know all the others went and cashed out

    ➔ 短语动词: "cashed out"

    "Cashed out"指的是将投资变现,或者出售某物以换取金钱。

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

    ➔ 省略的关系从句 (Whatever you're offering)

    "Whatever you're offering"充当句子的主语。暗示的完整句子可能是 "No matter what it is that you are offering"。“Whatever”充当融合关系代词,结合了先行词和关系代词本身。

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

    ➔ 用 "that" 引导的定语从句(限定性)

    ➔ 短语 "that used to swing right there" 是一个定语从句,修饰 "a little girl""That" 引导从句,是一个关系代词,指代名词 "girl""used to" 描述过去的习惯或状态。

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

    ➔ 条件句(第一类)与非正式的 "gonna"

    ➔ 这是一个第一类条件句,表达了未来的一种真实的可能性。“If she comes back, what will she do?” 是其基本结构。“Gonna” 是 “going to” 的非正式缩写。

  • Lasted 13 huntin' season runnin' strong

    ➔ 省略的关系从句 / 形容词短语

    ➔ 这个短语充当对 "huntin' season" 的描述。它可以被解释为一个省略的关系从句,其中关系代词和助动词被省略(例如,“which was running strong”)。"Huntin'" 用作形容词,在非正式语言中很常见。

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

    ➔ 非正式缩写("cause")和情态动词("can't")

    "Cause" 是 “because” 的非正式缩写。“Can't” 是 “cannot” 的缩写,是一种情态动词,表达无能力或不可能。

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

    ➔ 情态动词("can't")和用作副词的形容词("dirt cheap")

    "Can't" (cannot) 表达不可能。“Dirt cheap” 是一个复合形容词,在这里用作副词,修饰 “buy”(你不能以 “dirt cheap” 的方式购买它)。在非正式口语中,使用形容词代替副词是很常见的。
