歌词
I was just a kid of sixteen
我只是个16岁的少年，
I wasn't even grown
我甚至没有长大，
looking for a new direction
寻找着新的人生方向，
A road to call my own
一条只属于自己的路。
And I found it in the songs of Woody Guthrie
直到我在Woody Guthrie的歌里找寻到，
Of the lost and dispossessed
关于种种迷惘和失去。
I found it in the arms of the night-time girls
在夜色下女孩的怀抱中找寻到，
Who held me to their breast
是谁把我搂在胸前。
我不在意财富，
I did not care for fortune
我不在意虚名，
I did not care for fame
我抛弃多余的慈念，
I threw away a lot of kindness
或许这只能怪自己吧。
I only have myself to blame
对那些曾经荫庇过我、
For there were some who gave me shelter
帮助过我人们，
And some who eased my way
但不管他们做了什么，
But no matter what they offered
也不能使我停留，
They could never make me stay
这便是我渴望的一切。
It was all I ever wanted
我所知的一切，
All I ever knew
便是流浪那无尽头的公路，
To ride that endless highway
为你唱我自己写的歌。
And sing my songs for you
或许某人会向你承诺，
And some will make you promises
但千万别当真，
But that doesn't make it true
虚无中透着虚无。
Nothing is for nothing
你要偿还你的债务，
You have to pay your dues
现在我身无分文了，
And now my pocket's empty
算好了每笔开支，
And the reckoning is made
我不再亏欠任何人，
I owe nobody nothing
因为再也没有偿还的种种。
'Cause every bill is paid
这便是我渴望的一切。
It was all I ever wanted
我所知的一切，
All I ever knew
便是流浪那无尽头的公路，
To ride that endless highway
为你唱我自己写的歌。
And sing my songs for you
我还没到旅程的终点，
但我知道那天迟早将至。
I've not made it yet to journey's end
于是我低头凝视脚下无尽的长路，
But I know the day will come
转身朝向家的方向。
When I look down that endless highway
我会路过那些新上路者的美梦，
And I turn and head for home
鼓舞他们的前行，
And I'll pass the dream to someone new
我会紧握他们的双手，深深的致意，
And help them on their way
然后看他们远去。
I'll shake their hands and wish them well
这便是我渴望的一切。
And watch them walk away
我知道我能做的一切，
It was all I ever wanted
便是流浪那无尽头的公路，
All I ever knew
为你唱我自己写的歌。
To ride that endless highway
And sing my songs for you
