I'd like to say it was perfect
Saya ingin bilang semuanya sempurna
Growing up was a fairytale
Masa kecilku bagaikan dongeng
But Hollywood don't make no movies
Tapi Hollywood tidak bikin film
About a house up on wheels down a dirt road, Mississippi
Tentang rumah yang berpindah di jalan tanah, Mississippi
Tucked back in the trees
Tersembunyi di balik pepohonan

Well the man my mama married
Nah, pria yang dinikahi mama
Had a mean streak in his blood
Punya sifat kasar dalam dirinya
And when he took to drinking
Dan saat dia mulai minum
He'd take it out on us
Dia melampiaskannya pada kami
And I could hear my mama crying
Dan aku bisa mendengar mama menangis
That made it hard to sleep
Itu membuatku sulit tidur

That's where I became a man
Di situlah aku tumbuh dewasa
Long before my time
Jauh sebelum waktuku
And since I left I ain't been back
Dan sejak aku pergi, aku belum pernah kembali
But I go back in my mind
Tapi aku sering kembali dalam ingatanku

Thank God for Buford Bailey
Terima kasih Tuhan untuk Buford Bailey
He had a pond he'd let me fish
Dia punya kolam yang boleh aku pancing
That's where I'd run off to
Di situlah aku melarikan diri
Every chance I'd get
Setiap kesempatan yang ada
And I would pray that God was listening
Dan aku berdoa agar Tuhan mendengarkan
And He'd come rescue me
Dan Dia datang menyelamatkanku

Then one day, my uncle pulled up in a pickup truck
Lalu suatu hari, pamanku datang dengan truk pickup
Loaded up everything
Membawa semua barang
Wasn't much but it was everything
Tidak banyak, tapi itu segalanya

I'd like to say it was perfect
Saya ingin bilang semuanya sempurna
That growing up was a fairytale
Bahwa masa kecilku bagaikan dongeng
But Hollywood don't make no movies
Tapi Hollywood tidak bikin film
About a house up on wheels down a dirt road, Mississippi
Tentang rumah yang berpindah di jalan tanah, Mississippi
But that's what made me leave
Tapi itulah yang membuatku pergi
