歌词与中文翻译
They had my future wrapped up in a parcel
从小父母就决定了我一生的安排
And no one even thought of asking me
却从没问过我愿意不愿意
The day I turned fifteen I caught the mail train
我十五岁生日那天坐上火车离家出走
To find what else might be in life for me
去探寻人生能否有不一样的活法
I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothin'
我坐着卡车和货车游荡，不务正业
Served me right for wanting to be free
结果为了寻找自由而吃尽了苦头
Ah well that's the way society looked at it
唉，社会是这样看待我的
But it didn't seem to be that way to me
我自己却不这么认为
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me
全家最让人失望的就是我了
The only twisted branch upon our good old family tree
家里只有我不肯循规蹈矩地生活
I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be
可我就是成不了他们想让我变成的样子
And the biggest disappointment in the world wa-as me
于是全世界最让人失望的就是我
A lot more dinner times than there were dinners
经常吃了上顿没下顿
I learned a lot that hurt me at the time
成长让我受了很多挫折
Then this quiet country boy went home a different man
回到家的时候，那个沉默的农村少年已经变了一个人
With a memory of distance on my mind
远方的记忆常在他心间
But I always spoke too loud and laughed too often
但是现在我嗓门变得太大，举止也太粗俗
Maybe drank to many glasses down
可能啤酒灌得太多
And perhaps my clothes were older than I realised
衣服破旧自己却不知道
A relief to all concerned when I left town
当我离开的时候，所有人都长出了一口气
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me
全家最让人失望的就是我了
The only twisted branch upon our good old family tree
家里只有我不肯循规蹈矩地生活
I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be
可我就是成不了他们想让我变成的样子
And the biggest disappointment in the world wa-as me
于是全世界最让人失望的就是我
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me
全家最让人失望的就是我了
The only twisted branch upon our good old family tree
家里只有我不肯循规蹈矩地生活
I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be
可我就是成不了他们想让我变成的样子
And the biggest disappointment in the world wa-as me
于是全世界最让人失望的就是我
