Dont Forget to Remember Me

18 years have come and gone
18個年頭來了又去
For momma they flew by
對媽媽來說過去的日子如鳥兒飛去
But for me they just drug on
而對我來說它們只是過去了而已
We were loading up that Chevy
我們往汽車上裝載著東西
Both tryin not to cry
都在強忍著淚意
Momma kept on talking
媽媽一直說著無關緊要的話語
Putting off good-bye
以此延遲離別
Then she took my hand and said
然後她握住我的手對我說
Baby dont forget
寶貝請你不要忘記

在開上高速公路之前
Before you hit the highway
最好停下車來加油
You better stop for gas
煙灰缸裡放了五十元錢
Theres a 50 in ashtray
以防你沒有現金用的時候
In case you run short on cash
這裡還有一張地圖和一本聖經
Heres a map and heres a bible
當你迷失了自己的道路記得用上
If you ever loose your way
在你離開前還有最後一件事

不要忘了記住我
Just one more thing before you leave
市中心的別墅確實讓我很想家
Dont forget to remember me
還有櫃檯上放的錢

每個週日晚上我都給媽媽打一通電話
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
我告訴她我一切都好即使前路不那麼平坦的時候
and those bills there on the counter
在我們掛斷電話之前我說
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
提醒我我一直堅守著初心
And even when its not, I tell her everythings alright
媽媽別忘記告訴我的寶貝妹妹秋天我會去見她
Before we hung up I said
告訴mee-mal我十分想念她
Remind me Im on my own
我應該給她打一個電話的
Hey momma, dont forget to tell my baby sister Ill see her in the fall
還有請您告訴我爸爸我永遠是她的小女孩
And tell mee-mal that I miss her
yeah 我還是覺得我在做我應該做的事情
Yeah, I should give her a call
不要忘記記得我
And make sure you tell Daddy that Im still his little girl
今晚我在床邊跪下祈禱
Yeah I still feel like Im where Im supposed to be
我好久沒有這樣祈禱過了
Dont forget to remember me
我不知道說什麼但是

在這個大城市我感覺自己太渺小
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
我知道還有更重要的事要做但是
I havent done this in a while
不要忘記記得我
So I dont know what to say but
不要忘記記得我
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol place
I know there are more important things, but
Dont forget to remember me
Dont forget to remember me
