Letra
I’ll never forget that dreadful day
When I decided to run away
Little sister was playin' with a kitten on the floor
Mama was rockin out on the front porch
And Daddy had gone to the grocery store
And Brother had left the day before
Packed my clothes when no one was lookin'
Went out the back door and into the bushes
And down the holler and over the creek
Then up the field and across the field
I jumped the fence and I thumbed a ride
Much too young to realize
That I’d regret all it by and by.
And I wish I had the love that was offered to me When I was just too young and blind to see
There was a whole lot of love in that old house
But I had to leave to find it out
And it seems like it was only yesterday.
And I wish I had the love that was offered to me When I was just too young and blind to see
There was a whole lot of love in that old house
But I had to leave to find it out
And it seems like it was only yesterday.
If I’d a-known then what I know now
I’d a-stayed right on my daddy’s old farm
Just a young upstart I thought I was smart
Tried to be a man when I was only a child
But many a time it comes to my mind
To pack my clothes and leave this town
And jump that fence and cross that field
And down the hill and over the creek
An up the holler and through them bushes
And in the back door when no one is lookin'
And accept the love that was offered to me.
And I wish I had the love that was offered to me When I was just too young and blind to see
There was a whole lot of love in that old house
But I had to leave to find it out
And it seems like it was only yesterday
And I wish I had the love I threw away.
Tradução da letra
Nunca esquecerei aquele dia terrível.
Quando decidi fugir
A irmãzinha estava a brincar com um gatinho no chão.
A mamã estava a balançar no alpendre da frente.
E o papá tinha ido à mercearia.
E o irmão tinha partido no dia anterior
Arrumei as minhas roupas quando ninguém estava a olhar
Saiu pela porta das Traseiras e entrou nos arbustos.
And down the holler and over the creek
Em seguida, para cima do campo e através do campo
Saltei a cerca e dei uma volta.
Demasiado jovem para perceber
Que me arrependeria de tudo.
E quem me dera ter o amor que me foi oferecido quando era muito jovem e cego para ver
Havia muito amor naquela velha casa.
Mas tive de sair para descobrir.
E parece que foi ontem.
E quem me dera ter o amor que me foi oferecido quando era muito jovem e cego para ver
Havia muito amor naquela velha casa.
Mas tive de sair para descobrir.
E parece que foi ontem.
Se eu soubesse então o que sei agora
Eu tinha ficado na velha Quinta do meu pai.
Apenas um jovem intrépido, pensei que era esperto.
Tentei ser um homem quando era criança
Mas muitas vezes vem-me à cabeça
Para arrumar as minhas roupas e deixar esta cidade
E saltar aquela vedação e atravessar aquele campo
E descendo a colina e sobre o riacho
Um grito alto e através dos arbustos
E na porta das Traseiras quando ninguém está a olhar
E aceitar o amor que me foi oferecido.
E quem me dera ter o amor que me foi oferecido quando era muito jovem e cego para ver
Havia muito amor naquela velha casa.
Mas tive de sair para descobrir.
E parece que foi ontem.
E quem me dera ter o amor que deitei fora.
