创作背景
在Taylor的成长过程中,Tim Mcgraw是对她影响最大的艺人,因此她在首张专辑《Taylor Swift》一开始,就唱出TimMcGraw,不过她并没有直接的歌颂自己的偶像,只是很有技巧的在这首动人的情歌中指出,音乐可以勾起许多美好的回忆,但愿心上人想到提姆麦克罗的时候,想到她最喜欢、两人经常一起听着跳舞的那首歌。
Taylor创作这首歌时是一名高一的学生,由于知道9月时她的男友将离开家乡去读大学,他们的恋情也将告终,她写下了这首歌,纪念他们一起度过的时光,希望他离开后仍能凭着那些对他们有特殊意义的东西,回忆起她。
Taylor在采访中说,这首歌的灵感是她在数学课上得到的,之后她在学校用手机录下了初始旋律。放学后泰勒用了15分钟的时间与莉兹·罗斯写完了这首歌曲
英文歌词:
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie."
Just a boy in a chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
(Chorus:)
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thankin' God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
(Chorus)
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read is:
(Chorus)
(Oh) Think of me
(Mmmm...)
He said the way my blue eyes shine
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie.
