Trace Adkins - Metropolis [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town
Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow
One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet
Both police cars came, but I got away

[Chorus]
It was a boomtown back in'62, 'til the coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
That we all used to fish
Population 405 and I made it 404 one night
And left the city limit sign laying in the ditch
Run plumb over it, leaving Metropolis

[Verse 2]
Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard
It ain't safe after dark, guess this all boy drove too far
Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May
Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place
Where we can walk down to the country store
And we won't even have to lock our door
We can still get air and water there for free
She said that sounds good to me

[Chorus]
