Текст песни: Choppin' Wood + перевод

I ain’t too good at choppin' wood

But my daddy said I should

I need a gal with a nice strong back

Child-bearin' hips and a one-room shack

I’m a hard, hard worker every day

Dirty hands and a little pay

I get up early and I get back late

I ain’t too good at matching clothes

Wearing heels and panty hose

I need a man that’s sensitive

Stoic and contemplative

A scholar and a gentleman

A caller with strong arms to hold me in

So what if we’re not everything

Our mothers and our fathers expected us to be

Could I be the one who’s in your dreams?

Could I be the one who you redeem?

I’ve gettin' good at acting sweet

But it’s hard to admit defeat

I’m prim and proper and put together

I’m sick and sore, under the weather

Got friends in places high and low

Learned things I didn’t want to know

Been lifted up just to be let go

I’m gettin' good at actin' tough

But I haven’t gotten good enough

I want to be on the silver screen

I’m a kind-hearted man that’s often mean

I’m a lover and a fighter

I am a worker and a writer

I am a dreamer woken up by fits of rage

So what if we’re not everything

Our mothers and our fathers expected us to be

Could I be the one who’s in your dreams?

Could I be the one who you redeem?

Been trying hard to understand

What it means to be a man

And every time I fall in love

I hug and kiss, then push and shove

I’m solid then I’m soft and then

I’m gone and then I’m back again

I am a saint but my heart’s filled with sin

So what if we’re not everything

Our mothers and our fathers expected us to be

Could I be the one who’s in your dreams?

Could I be the one who you redeem?
