Before Gas And TV

Before gas and TV
在沒有汽油和電視的時候

那時人們也還沒有汽車
before people had cars
我們環著篝火而坐

輪流彈著吉他
we'd sit round the fires
我還記得那些曲子

那些我父親在家中
pass around a guitar
用勺子和梳子

演奏出的曲子
remembering songs
當天氣晴好時

我們會追逐著浪花嬉戲
When my daddy was home
有時我們還會

以收集廢鐵為樂
he'd play along
然後我們就圍坐在篝火旁

將手中的美酒傳遞
on the spoons and a comb
訴說那些記憶遙遠的

公路故事
We'd go with the flow
如果天堂是這個樣子

這正是我嚮往的地方
When the weather was fine
歲月安好

自由自在
sometimes we'd go
如果這就是天堂

那這將是我身心歸屬的地方
collecting scrap iron
在田野的邊際

在世界的一隅
Then we'd sit round the fires
在沒有汽油和電視的日子裡

pass a bottle of wine

and the tales of the road

since time out of mind

If heaven's like this

well, that's okay with me

where the living is fine

and living is free

If heaven's like this

well, then here's where I'll be

on the edge of the field
on the edge of the world
