电影插曲："赛车总动员"Our Town故里今不比昔

年轻气盛的麦坤是一辆有“闪电小子”之称的改装赛车，在赶赴汽车大赛途中，他迷路来到了66号公路旁的小镇上，却因此认识了德高望重的哈德逊医生和迷人的保时捷萨丽等众多好友……

Long ago, but not so very long ago,
the world was¹ different, oh yes it was.
You settled³ down and you build a town and made⁴ it live,
and you watched it grow, it was your town.

Time goes by, time brings changes, you change too.
Nothing comes that you can't handle⁵ so on you go.
You never see it coming, when the world cave⁶ in on you,
on your town, there's nothing you can do.

Main⁷ street isn't main street anymore⁸.
Lights don't shine⁹ as² brightly as they shone¹⁰ before.
To tell the truth¹¹, lights don't shine at all,
in our town.

Sun comes up each morning, just like it's always done,
get up, go to work, and start the day.
You open up for business¹², it's never gonna come,
as the world rolls¹³ by, a million¹⁴ miles¹⁵ away.

Main street isn't main street, anymore.
No one seems¹⁶ to need us, like they did¹⁷ before.
It's hard to find a reason¹⁸ left to stay,
but it's our town, We love it anyway¹⁹.

Come what may, it's our town.
