英文乡村歌曲：Rosie Thomas - 2 Birds

We were young we were barely¹ 19
Going places that we have never seen
So I packed a flashlight and the camera
2,000 miles to California
.
We packed our clothes in paper bags
We made mix tapes of our favorite bands
I remember my father in the driveway

I could tell that he was putting on his brave face for me
.
As we drove far away
Stayed any place for free
I picked up a nickel² on the train tracks
We had songs we liked to sing
And we tape recorded things
Tied ribbons round the trees to find our way back
.
We stopped in every small town we came across
We slept in motel³ parking lots
I remember Montana and the big sky
I remember how she stood there with her arms held open wide
.
As we drove far away
Stayed any place for free
We pulled over when we saw the sunflowers
And we both carved our names
In a fence along the way
And Sharon honked⁴ the horn at every state line
.
We were young and we, were just beginning our lives
Like 2 birds set free for the first time
Not a penny to our names
And our dresses were handmade
We picked flowers and sage
And dried them in
The dashboard of the car
