Drive

我一直觉得我听歌的品位和别人不一样，通常情况下，我听的歌别人都不怎么听，就好象10年前听五月天一样，根本没人听，也没人知道他们，那时候谁能想到现在他们能那么火？可他们真正大红大紫以后出的专辑我却很少听了，他们的歌我最喜欢的终究还是那么几首。

当年听陶喆的歌，被n多人鄙视，尤其是以苏老师为首的若干人称我为陶粪，呵呵，不过我感觉还好。

我最近听歌很少，这两天听了会曾哥，感觉还可，比较喜欢的还是那几首，只是声音被修饰的太多了，为曾哥录音的老师一定很辛苦很郁闷……

前两天听Taylor Swift的歌，听来听去发现她翻唱Alan Jackson的Drive比较好听，歌是Alan Jackson原唱，回忆与父亲一起第一次开船，开车时的事情，歌词也比较有感觉，下面贴的是原歌的词，Taylor唱的时候改了一些。

It was painted red the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine put on a motor
Built out of love made for the water
Ran her for years til the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten
It was just on old plywood boat
With a 75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can’t replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make her whine
He’d say you can’t beat the way an old wood boat rides
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When daddy let me drive
Just an old half ton shortbed ford
My uncle bought new in 64
Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He let me drive her when we’d haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we′d dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I′d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
It was just an old handdown Ford
With a three speed on the column and a dent in the door
I can′t replace the way it mode me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
And he’d say a little slower son you’re doing just fine
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
I′m grown up now three daughters of my own
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they’ll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile and say
It was just an old worn out Jeep
Rusty old floorboard hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
And he’d say turn it left and steer it right
Straighten up girl you’re doing just fine
Just a little valley by the river where we’d ride
But I was high on a mountain
Oh he let me drive
It’s just an old plywood boat
