She used to come over to my house, she only lived a few miles away 她以前来过我家，她只活了几英里远

I never knew why but my mama said if she wanted to she could stay 我从来不知道为什么，但我妈妈说，如果她想，她可以留下来

A pretty little girl who fought like a boy but she wanted to hold my hand 一个漂亮的小女孩谁打像个男孩子，但她想牵我的手

In a little blue dress that she always wore, yeah, I might have been her only friend 在一个蓝色小礼服，她总是穿在身上，是的，我可能是她唯一的朋友

   

I remember that summer like yesterday, she used to hang around all the time 我记得那年夏天就像昨天，她用所有的时间流连

Down by the creek we would always play and tell secrets by the porch light 下来的小溪，我们总是玩，由门廊灯告诉的秘密

Shy as a bird and timid as a flower I wondered where she grew up 害羞的鸟和胆小如一朵花我不知道她在那里长大

I never really thought that much about it but everybody said her daddy was the town drunk 我从来没有想过那么多这个问题，但大家都说她的爸爸是镇上喝醉了

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Broken like a bottle, running from the only home she ever had 像碎瓶子，从只有家里跑，她曾经有过

Tangled in the talk behind her back 纠结于她背后​​的话题

Yeah, he thought she was nothin', growing like a weed on the wrong side of the tracks 是啊，他以为她是没什么，如野草般生长在轨道错误的一边

How could anyone not love a girl like that? 怎么会有人不喜欢这样的女孩吗？

   

One afternoon in the middle of town, I saw her daddy sleeping on a bench 在城市中间的一个下午，我看到她爸爸睡在一张长凳

So I walked up and introduced myself and said his daughter was my best friend 于是，我就自我介绍，说他的女儿是我最好的朋友

He looked at me like he didn't care and he asked me for a couple bucks 他看着我，就像他不在乎，他问我要两块钱

Right then I decided I'd look after that pretty little girl whose daddy was the town drunk 就在那时，我决定我会照顾那个漂亮的小女孩，爸爸是镇上喝醉了

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

A girl like that 这样的一个女孩

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

A girl like that 这样的一个女孩

   

Several years later, I read in the paper that her daddy had passed away 几年后，我在报纸上看到她的爸爸已经去世的文件

I was holdin' her hand, she had the baby in the other there was really nothing I could say 我牵着她的手，她在其他孩子有真的没什么，我可以说，

She looked at me and I gave her a kiss 她看着我，我给了她一个吻

All that mattered was the three of us 他所关心是我们三个人

Nobody thought it would all work out for that pretty little girl whose daddy was the town drunk 没有人会想到它会全部制定出了漂亮的小女孩的爸爸是镇上喝醉了
