Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning 也许我们会让得克萨斯州的早晨

Light the bayou with our tail lights in the night 我们尾灯在夜间照亮河口

800 miles to el paso from the state line 800英里埃尔帕索从状态行

And we never have the money for the flight 我们从来没有足够的钱为飞行

I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel 我在后座的旅游昏昏欲睡

Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans 整夜在新奥尔良打出我们的心了

I'm dirty from the diesel fumes, drinking coffee black 我是从柴油油烟脏，喝黑咖啡

When the first breath of Texas comes in clean 在得克萨斯州的第一次呼吸进来的清洁

And there's something 'bout the Southland in the springtime 这里面的东西回合南国的春天

Where the waters flow with confidence and reason 凡河水流的信心和理由

Though I miss her when I'm gone it won't ever be too long 虽然我很想念她的时候我走了就永远不会太长

Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season 直到我回家再花我最喜欢的季节

When God made me born a yankee he was teasin' 当上帝让我诞生一扬，他teasin

There's no place like home and none more pleasin' 有像家一样，没有任何地方更惬意“

Than the Southland in the springtime 比南国的春天

In Georgia nights are softer than a whisper 在格鲁吉亚的夜晚比耳语更柔软

Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand 下面一床被子是谁的母亲手工制作

With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations 有了这样挂毯农田代代相传

And the peach trees stitched across the land 和桃树全国的土地缝合

There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside 未来将有近海伦苹果酒掉在路边

And boiled peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers 而在一个袋子煮花生能温暖你的手指

And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky 而从烟囱冒烟满足在天空中它的制造者

With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers 有一首歌，写了冬天的旋律不散
