美國鄉村樂天后［桃莉．芭頓］的童年回憶──鄉村抒情曲──［My Tennessee Mountain Home／我的田納西山之家］

Sittin on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straight-back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall
Watch the kids a-playin with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin fireflies when evenin shadows fall

In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a babys sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
An a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a babys sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Walkin home from church on Sunday with the one ya love
Just laughin, talkin, making future plans
And when the folks aint lookin, you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin in the porch swing, holdin hands

In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a babys sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Mm-mm

“這是一本自傳，從頭到尾。用音樂講述多莉的生活中發生的事情，她與家人和朋友的關係，她的職業生涯等等。有點不尋常，她的粉絲會喜歡它。

它甚至有她父母的筆記，以及她早年家的照片。”
