Trace Adkins - She's Still There [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Darling, here's a photograph of my old high school class
No, I haven't been back in quite a while
See there, that's Emma Lou, the one I gave my heart to
But there's a story you can't see behind her smile
It was going to last forever, we were going to see the world
So I guess you're curious just what became of her, well

[Chorus]
She's still there in Oklahoma
She's still seventeen
She's living with her Mama
Working at the Dairy Queen
And she's still standing on the front porch
With a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere
But she's still there

[Verse 2]
Everett went to Omaha, he majored in Business Law
Jill's in Arkansas with husband number two
That's her best friend Jolene, she joined up with the Marines
I hear Billy Green's on a beach in Malibu
Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now
Because we're living out the lives that she only dreamed about

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Lord, I know I'll never see her
With silver in her hair
I know she's really gone
But in my heart I'd swear

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Emma's still there
