歌词
Someone asked me once in an interview
我曾经在一次面试中被这样问到
What was growing up like?
你已经走过的人生是怎样的？
Where'd you go to school?
你又是在哪里上的学？
And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?
如果你不醉心理想，你又会去做什么呢？
I'd be drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge
我会开着我的第一辆破旧的道奇车
Tryin' to make rent with a dead-end job, just makin' due
靠着一份没有前途的工作维持生活
With tips in a jar, my guitar, and an old barstool
左手扶着瓶子里的小费，右手抱着心爱的吉他
坐在酒吧的破高脚凳子上
I’d have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
在周五会有一群被我抓住耳朵的听众
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
一杯棕色的酒，几个乐队的朋友
Singin’ them same damn songs like I am now
唱着特么和我一样的歌
I’d be feelin’ on fire on a hardwood stage
站在酒吧硬木舞台上的我好像着了魔
Bright lights like lightning runnin’ through my veins
明亮的灯光像是闪电点燃我的血液
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
管它什么普奥里剧院还是小镇的无名酒吧
I’d still be doin’ this if I wasn’t doin’ this
如果这不是我，我还能是谁？
I'd still be the same guy they knew back in the day
我还是以前大家知道的那个家伙
Who was burnin' CD's just to give away
刻录CD只为了送人
Payin' his dues if I wasn't doin' this
不这样过活大家都挺糟的
Five deep in a van, head full of steam
五个人挤在一辆满载蒸汽的货车里
Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe comin' true
紧跟在我身后的霓虹灯梦也许能成真
Livin' this life just like I was born to do
然后过上我生来就该过的生活
I’d have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
在周五会有一群被我抓住耳朵的听众
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
一杯棕色的酒，几个乐队的朋友
Singin’ them same damn songs like I am now
唱着特么和我一样的歌
I’d be feelin’ on fire on a hardwood stage
站在酒吧硬木舞台上的我好像着了魔
Bright lights like lightning runnin’ through my veins
明亮的灯光像是闪电点燃我的血液
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
管它什么普奥里剧院还是小镇的无名酒吧
I’d still be doin’ this if I wasn’t doin’ this
如果这还不是我，我又能是谁？
It ain't about the fame
不羡黄金罍
It ain't about the fortune
不羡白玉杯
It ain't about the name
不羡朝入省
It ain't about the glory
不羡暮登台
I guess I'm sayin' it's always been about
千羡万羡西江水,曾向竟陵城下来
Having a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
在周五会有一群被我抓住耳朵的听众
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
一杯棕色的酒，几个乐队的朋友
Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
唱着特么和我一样的歌
I’d be feelin’ on fire on a hardwood stage
站在酒吧硬木舞台上的我好像着了魔
Bright lights like lightning runnin’ through my veins
明亮的灯光像是闪电点燃我的血液
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
管它什么普奥里剧院还是小镇的无名酒吧
I’d still be doin’ this if I wasn’t doin’ this
如果这竟还不是我，我还又能是谁？
Someone asked me once in an interview
现在或者以后还有人问我
What was growing up like?
你的人生历程于你意味着什么？
Where'd you go to school?
你的小酒吧到底在什么方向？
And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?
我只有这么一条路，我还能去哪？
