See her pretty face, run my finger through her hair

She left me, I'm tired
自从你离去,我的心好乱
Cuz I knew that it just ain't right

乡村音乐皇后Carrie Underwood单曲
基本信息中文译名：《奇幻旅程》（Carnival Ride）　 
发行时间：2007年10月23日 
发行公司：Arista 
音乐风格：Contemporary Country
专辑概念作为2005年度“美国偶像”大赛的冠军，Carrie Underwood在美国的人气毋庸置疑。Carrie Underwood的第二张个人专辑《Carnival Ride》宣告面世。在美国上市第一周时，《Carnival Ride》以超过半白金（52万7千张）的单周销量成绩轻松获得了Billboard200专辑榜的冠军，比亚军高出了41万张。 
这张《Carnival Ride》是自2004年以来美国唱片市场上单周销量最高的乡村音乐专辑。两年前，Carrie Underwood的处子专辑《Some hearts》在全美上市首周的销量为31万5千张，获得了当时Billboard 200专辑榜的亚军。 
与更为流行化的《Some Hearts》相比，《Carnival Ride》的乡村味道明显更浓了，而细心的歌迷们也一定会发现，Carrie Underwood在这张专辑中的唱腔跟《Some Hearts》时期有了一定的变化，很明显她更加自信。对于那些首张专辑大获成功的歌手来说，第二张专辑这道坎是很难跨过去的，但Carrie成功了。值得一提的是，Carrie Underwood在本张专辑中共参与了四首歌曲的创作，而在《Some Hearts》中，她参与创作的歌曲只有一首《I Ain't In Checotah Anymore》。Carrie Underwood《Carnival Ride》曲目简介　专辑伊始即以稍显激烈的《Flat On The Floor》打头，Carrie的铿锵亮嗓甫一出即惊艳四座，这是一首有一点点小酒馆里激烈乡村味的歌曲，由Carrie唱来恰到好处；接下来是一首《All-American Girl》，讲述了两代人之间浓浓情感的美国故事——“Oh beautiful,wonderful,perfect All-American girl”的吟唱让我们沉浸在亲情和爱情构筑的家庭氛围中，分外感怀； 
首单《So small》位居第三，提示人们世间其实真爱为大，需要好好珍惜；《Just A Dream》则足以入围年度感人单曲，一个军中男孩和平凡女孩的生死之恋令人扼腕，他们的感人故事由Carrie来倾情演绎更是分外动人；《Get Out Of This Town》和《Crazy Dreams》则是非常典型的中板节奏乡村乐，其欢快俏皮的旋律和美丽的歌词相结合又是佳作；《I Know You Won't》是非常值得一听再听的作品，Carrie的美妙嗓音和真假音转换技巧臻于化境，配上极为精致的旋律，实在找不出更好的形容词来赞美；《Last Name》又是一首有点点摇滚风格的作品，继《Before He Cheats》之后Carrie带来的更有趣的一首女孩子的独白，独立和自信的感觉却洋溢其中；《You Won't Find This 》以清新明亮的吉他打头，却是一首劝爱人回头又大方放他走的一种恋爱态度，因为自信“你不可能找到更好的”；《I Told You So》翻唱自Randy Travis20多年前的冠军单曲，此次又请到了老天王一起合唱，算是为这张大碟增添一番佳话；《The More Boys I Meet》继续Carrie新女性独立的态度，"The More Boys I meet,the more I love my dog"，道出了她的洒脱和独到眼光；《Twisted》则演绎了另一番活泼却执着的爱情和人生态度，显示出了Carrie在音乐和性情上的成长；收尾曲《Wheel Of The World》似乎暗合上张专辑之单曲《Jesus,Take The Wheel》之意，讲述人生命运之奇妙感怀，以足以媲美后者的悠远歌声娓娓道来。 
整张专辑各支曲子各有各的精彩，整体而言更是非常耐听，的确是一张不可多得的乡村音乐佳作。
歌曲歌词It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen　
All dressed in white　
Going to the church that night　
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat　
Sixpence in a shoe,　
something barrowed, something blue　
And when the church doors opened up wide　
She put her veil down　
Trying to hide the tears　
Oh she just couldn't believe it　
She heard trumpets from the military band　
And the flowers that I never had　
Baby why'd you leave me　
Why'd you have to go?　
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know　
I can't even breathe　
It's like I'm looking from a distance　
Standing in the background　
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now　
This can't be happening to me　
This is just a dream　
The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray　
Lord please lift his soul,　
and heal this hurt　
Then the congregation all stood up and sang　
the saddest song that she ever heard　
Then they handed her a folded up flag　
And she held on to all she had left of him　
Oh, and what could have been　
And then the guards rang one last shot　
And it felt like a bullet in her heart　
Baby why'd you leave me　
Why'd you have to go?　
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know　
I can't even breathe　
It's like I'm looking from a distance　
Standing in the background　
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now　
This can't be happening to me　
This is just a dream　
Oh,Baby why'd you leave me　
Why'd you have to go?　
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know　
Oh, now I'll never know　
It's like I'm looking from a distance　
Standing in the background　
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now　
This can't be happening to me　
This is just a dream　
Oh, this is just a dream　
Just a dream　
Yeah​, Yeah​
