"A Childhood We'll Never Rebuild Again" (English — full sung version) [Verse 1] We collected bottles in a sack on our shoulder Five cents, ten cents, that was our whole schoolin' We counted our cans sitting out on the porch Then ran to the store before it closed for the night The radio was playing right there in the kitchen And mama sang along doing up the dishes [Verse 2] We played cards, Parcheesi, snakes and ladders too The whole family round the table, that was our Netflix back then We'd lose, we'd argue, then we'd play again anyway The dog curled up against our legs under the table Nobody had a cellphone in their hand We just had a game and time to spare [Pre-Chorus] It was a whole world in a small house Nobody's got that world right now [Chorus] We're a childhood we'll never rebuild again A childhood raised on nickels and a deck of cards The porch stayed full till late into the night And nobody was in a rush to go inside The neighbors were family just the same We're a childhood we'll never rebuild again, not at all [Verse 3] I still remember the sound of cans rattling in the sack I still remember mama winning damn near every game We didn't know we were poor, we just knew we were together And that's worth more than anything we've got right now [Chorus repeats] [Bridge] I can still hear the cards shuffling on the table I can still see the sack of cans at the end of the porch I know the world's changed, I know it's moved on But some of us still carry that house with us Right here, underneath it all We didn't know it was that good, we just lived it, that's all [Final Chorus] We're a childhood we'll never rebuild again A childhood raised on nickels and a deck of cards The porch stayed full till late into the night And nobody was in a rush to go inside The neighbors were family just the same We're a childhood — and we'll never rebuild it again, not at all [Outro] The sack of cans, the cards on the table That was everybody, that was everybody
