英文乡村歌曲：Gretchen Wilson - My Truck

Grandma's turning 92
That's a lot of years ahead of you
So, listen close to what I say
Cause Grandma's feeling old today
She said, I can't believe I'm sitting here
Old as I am, never been stoned
.
I've waited too damn¹ long
So bring it on
Grandma's gonna fly
.
So, I rolled it up and I passed it around
Grandma smoked the whole thing down
Said she was making up for wasted ground
Too many times she turned it down
She said, you live your life until it's gone
And the things you never try just slip² away
'Til they're gone too
.
I've waited too damn long
So bring it on
Grandma's gonna fly
.
And as she talked about the old days
Said some things that blew my mind
Said you ain't seen a thing
'Til you've seen Grandma getting high
Mmm-mm-mmm
.
Grandma didn't have much time left
But she made use of every breath³
And I swear she smiled before she left
And I watched the world fall off her chest⁴
Mmm-mm-mmm
And as the gates of heaven of heaven opened wide
She slipped⁵ over to the other side
She was singin', yeah yeah
.
I've waited too damn long
So bring it on
Grandma's gonna fly
I've waited too damn long
So bring it on
Grandma's gonna fly
