Текст песни: Arkansas Heat + перевод

Two hours south of Memphis, y’all

From a little town in Arkansas

Where the people haven’t changed at all since

Nineteen-sixty-five

I play games with the powers that be

I got the whole town sweatin' me

Got the heat and the humidity

And it’s a wonder we’re alive

Well you sell off everything you own

Just to make it all on your own

I ain’t a child--I ain’t full grown, but

I’ll prove to you!

And tell the preacher, just in case he ask'

That we ain’t never, ever comin' back

Well, it’s all done and in the past

And that’s good enough fo' me

Two hours south of Memphis, y’all

From a little town in Arkansas

Where the people haven’t changed at all since

Nineteen-sixty-five

Still judgin' us in this town

I wanna keep our mini-house

They can run us out of our hometown, but

They’re never gonna keep us down!

Well you sell off everything you own

Just to make it all on your own

I ain’t a child--I ain’t full grown, but

I’ll prove to you!

And tell the preacher, just in case he ask'

That we ain’t never, ever comin' back

Well, it’s all done and in the past

And that’s good enough fo' me

Two hours south of Memphis, y’all

From a little town in Arkansas

Where the people haven’t changed at all since

Nineteen-sixty-five

I play games with the powers that be

Ya got the whole town sweatin' me

Got the heat, humidity

And it’s a wonder we’re alive

(*note — no other interpretations on the 'net, this is 'bout the best I can do;

I think I got 'em about 99% except the part between 'still judgin' us…

' and 'mini-house' (lol) but I challenge anyone except Beth Ditto herself to do

better--and I hope someone does! :o)
