March For Miles
I wish I was there with you in your twenties
When cars were made of steel
And wheat was on the penny
On a sunny day
You could see for miles
Our boys were off to war
They would march for miles
I wish I was there
When you were looking smooth
They marched you all day
And made you so tired
On a sunny day
You could see for miles
And our boys were off to war
They would march for miles
And you came straight from the war
I wish I was there with you in your twenties
When cars were made of steel
And wheat was on the penny
On a sunny day
You could see for miles
Our boys were off to war
They would march for miles
The air was fresh and sweet
They would dream of coming home
And think, ‘man, I hope she waits for me’
While you sit there all by your lonesome self
Marcha por Milhas
Eu queria estar aí com você na sua juventude
Quando os carros eram de aço
E o trigo valia um centavo
Em um dia ensolarado
Você podia ver por milhas
Nossos rapazes foram para a guerra
Eles marcharam por milhas
Eu queria estar lá
Quando você estava tão elegante
Eles te fizeram marchar o dia todo
E te deixaram tão cansado
Em um dia ensolarado
Você podia ver por milhas
E nossos rapazes foram para a guerra
Eles marcharam por milhas
E você voltou direto da guerra
Eu queria estar aí com você na sua juventude
Quando os carros eram de aço
E o trigo valia um centavo
Em um dia ensolarado
Você podia ver por milhas
Nossos rapazes foram para a guerra
Eles marcharam por milhas
O ar era fresco e doce
Eles sonhavam em voltar pra casa
E pensavam, ‘caraca, espero que ela me espere’
Enquanto você estava lá, sozinha.
