Sugarland - Baby Girl

Sugarland是来自美国亚特兰大的三人乡村团体，由女主音Jennifer Nettles和Kristen Hall与BillyPilgrim所组成了，Twice the Speed of Life是他们发行的第一张大碟，之前发行过一张名为Premium QualityTunes的EP

        BabyGirl是一首书信体的歌曲，是写给父母的一份信，既向父母报平安，也向父母要求经济上的援助，歌词凸现出独自在外的困境和一个人面对和克服困难的勇气，知道最后咸鱼翻身，赚了大钱，要把钱寄回给父母，住的还是Ritz饭店，但还是那句 "I still love you more thananything in the world Love,Your baby girl"吉他的开场做得十分出色，Jennifer的演唱也收放自如歌曲中板的节奏相当的uplifting。

歌词就是一个小故事，对学英语的朋友有帮助！
They say in this town, stars stay up all night,
Well, I don t know, can t see em for the glow of the neon lights.An' it's a long way from here to the place where the home fires burn.Well it's two thousand miles and one left turn.

"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny."Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through."Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
"I m playin here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I m gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."

Black jack, blue sky: big town full of little white lies.
Well, everybody s your friend: you can never be sure.They'll promise fancy cars an' diamond rings, an' all sorts of shiny things,
But, girl, you ll remember what your knees are for.

"Dear Mom and Dad,
"Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny."Well, I don't need much; just enough to get me through."Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
"See, I m playin here at the bar tonight.
"Well, this time, I m gonna make our dreams come true.
"Well, I love you more than anything in the world,
"Love,
"Your baby girl."

I know that I m on my way.
Well, I can tell every time I play.An' I know it s worth all the dues I pay,
When I can write to you and say:

"Dear Mom and Dad,
"I ll send money. I m so rich that it ain t funny.
"Well it oughtta be more than enough to get you through."Please don t worry 'cause I m all right,
"See, I m stayin here at the Ritz tonight
"Whaddya know, we made our dreams come true."An' there are fancy cars an' diamond rings,"But you know that they don't mean a thing."Well, they all add up to nothin' compared to you."Well, remember me in ribbons an' curls.
"I still love you more than anything in the world:
"Love,
"Your baby girl."

Ah yeah.

Your baby girl.
("Dear Mom and Dad,
("Please send money: I m so broke that it ain t funny.)("Don't need much; just enough to get me through.)
Your baby girl.("Please don t worry 'cause I'm all right,
("Playin here at the bar tonight.)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh.)
Dreams come true.
