Nickels And Dimes And Love


雖然不是 a big fan of Country Music,但偶爾有一兩首總是讓我動容。Country Music 有點像我們以前的民歌一樣,用周邊的小故事編輯成曲。

從一片精選 CD 裡面出現了 John Michael Montgomery 的一首 Nickes and Dimes and Love,透徹敘述了年輕時候沒錢但又過得很愉快的浪漫情懷。

在下雨天開車的時候播出,特別容易觸動我的情緒。

Nickels And Dimes And Love

原唱:John Michael Montgomery

唱片:LIFE'S A DANCE (Atlantic 82420)
October 13/1992
Produced by Doug Johnson & Wyatt Easterling

Remember when pocket change was all we had
And all those calls from the corner phone booth collect to mom and dad
And that old worn out couch we called our bed
When our cuisine was pork and beans baloney and day old bread

Remember that damn old car that kept breaking down
And all the times it left me stranded thumbing all over town
And that old weekly paycheck just never stretched enough
Back in the times of nickels and dimes and love

Together we sure made some dreams come true
Sometimes it wasn't easy but somehow we made it through
And when I get to thinking times are tough
I remember the times of nickels and dimes and love

Oh those good old times of nickels and dimes and love

Remember digging through your old purses in hopes we'd get
Enough change for an RC Cola or a pack of cigarettes
Now we've got almost everything that we were dreaming of
Back in the times of nickels and dimes and love

Together we sure made some dreams come true...
Do you remember those times of nickels and dimes and love
