Откуда я?

текст большой и непростой

балладу, значит, выбрал..

1 куплет
On a three-hour flight from Memfis to LA
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
Laughing at my jeans and my boots beside
Those high dollar shoes and Armany suits
When the gentleman next to me
Said, the drinks up here are free
So if you’d like the first one
can be on me

2 куплет
He said I’m heading back from business,
In New-York and Rome
Tell me son, where do you call home?
I said, I’m from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still don’t work
Where a man’s word means everything…
Where moms and dads were high school flings and
Gave their children Grandmother’s maiden name.
Yes, it may not sound like much
But it’s where I’m from.

3 куплет
So we drink that round and then another
There wasn’t a topic in this world
We didn’t (go ) over
He said I headed out west
When I was barely 19
Just a kid, chasing my dreams
And I said I’m flying out here to pick up my big brother
He’s been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said
“I think this is the end.
So come take me home, to my family and my friends.”

Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
the trucks are Ford and the tractor is green
And Amazing Grace is what we sing
where there’s a county fair every fall
And your friends are there
no matter when you call,
It may not sound like much but it’s where I’m from

5 куплет
And as we stood there to claim the bags
we checked
He said I’ll pray for your brother and
did I mention that Italian suits
haven’t always been my style
See I was the quarterback of my high school team,
We took state back in 63 and my wife,
well she is still my homecoming queen

Cuz I’m from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still don’t work
Where a man’s word means everything…
Where moms and dads were high school flings and
Gave their children Grandmother’s maiden name
Yes, it may not sound like much I said it may not sound like much
But it’s where I’m from
it’s where I’m from
it’s where I’m from
it’s where I’m from
