Lyrics
(One, two, three, four)
– (Unus, duo, tres, quattuor)
The boys are breakin’ bottles out here on the streets of London
– Pueri sunt breakin utres hic in plateis Londinii
The women here, they look like movie stars
– Mulieres hic spectant sicut stellae pelliculae
Things I’d do to be back in Oklahoma
– Quae vellem facere ut tergum in Lacinia
Kickin’ around at a hometown bar
– Kickin ‘ chaudiere qui fuit bar
And I’ve dined with kings and queens in the city
– Ego autem cum regibus et reginae in urbe cenavi
I filled my plate and then I filled it more
– Implevi laminam meam et tunc eam magis implevi
But my cup’s still kind and stays half-empty
– Sed poculum meum adhuc genus est et dimidium vacuum manet
And I’m jealous when all the sweat drops hit the floor
– Aemulor autem sum cum omnes guttae sudor pavimentum feriunt
And I walk the alleys tryna find myself a kick drum
– Et ambulo angiportum tryna invenire ipse calcitrant tympanum
Or a man cover a slow John Prine song
– Vel hominem lentum ioannes Prince carmen operit
But in spite of myself, I just can’t stop thinkin’
– Sed tamen ipse, ego iustus prohibere non possum cogitare’
That paradise awaits for me back home
– Quod paradisus mihi manet in domum suam
Boys are breakin’ bottles down here on the streets of London
– Pueri sunt breakin utres hic in plateis Londinii descendunt
And the women here, they look like movie stars
– Et mulieres hic, tamquam stellae pelliculae spectant
Things I’d do to be back in Oklahoma
– Quae vellem facere ut tergum in Lacinia
Kickin’ around at a hometown bar
– Kickin ‘ chaudiere qui fuit bar
