英语歌曲 乡村经典：Faith Hill - Mississippi Girl

还记得为电影珍珠港唱了那首动人主题曲There You'll Be的美国乡村女歌后Faith Hill吗？她的嗓音总是那么甜美好听。生于密西西比的Faith唱的这首Mississippi Girl，多少有些自己的影子在里面。

Artist：Faith Hil
Song：Mississippi Girl

Yeah

Well, it's a long way from Star,Mississippi
To the big stage I'm singing on tonight
And sometimes the butterflies still get me
When I'm in the spotlight¹

And some people seem to think that I've changed
That I'm different than I was back then
But in my soul, I know that I'm the same way
That I've really always been

CHORUS²:
'Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just 'cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Riding my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl

Whoo!

Well, I spent a few weeks in California³
They put my face on the big movie screen
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing⁴ dreams

(Chorus)

Whoo!

'Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just 'cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big headed from a little bit of Fame
Still like wearing my old ball cap
Riding my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around this world
Thats alright
But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi---- girl

Mississippi girl!
Oh,oh
Mississippi girl!
Mississippi girl!
yeah, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Mississippi girl!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na....(fade)
