《Back to School》歌词

[00:00:00] Back to School - Jeannie C. Riley

[00:00:10] Wintertime comes early to the north part of this state

[00:00:14] I walk along the river where we used to come and skate

[00:00:23] The trees're now all gone and by the river there's a sign

[00:00:28] Trespassin' is a twenty dollar fine

[00:00:36] Lookin' up the road toward the schoolhouse on the hill

[00:00:40] That thing about an empty building causes me to chill

[00:00:49] My memory goes back to when the teacher rang the bell

[00:00:54] The day she sent you home for saying hell

[00:01:02] Walkin' past the building so important in my past

[00:01:06] The road is full of ol discarded bottles and some trash

[00:01:15] I step behind the building as I shelter from the cold

[00:01:20] I see our names in letters big and bold

[00:01:32] My fingers trace the letters of a work of art alone

[00:01:37] And I recall the day that you carved it in a stone

[00:01:46] Somehow I can see you now with books and coat in hand

[00:01:51] You always waved as down the hill you ran

[00:01:59] Cokes were just a nickel then and many were the times

[00:02:03] The two of us would sip them as if they were village wine

[00:02:12] And then on Graduation Day we bought the little ring

[00:02:17] And said that carats didn't mean a thing

[00:02:25] Now I retrace my footsteps to the cab that waits for me

[00:02:29] Looking back to see our names you carved upon a tree

[00:02:38] The driver says I look familiar you asks me what's my name

[00:02:43] I say hurry I have to catch a plane
