歌词
The first thing
我只记得
I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing
孤单的口哨
And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride
一个小子,急着长大
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where
爬上货车,离了城
I'm boundNo one could change my mind but
九牛不回,不知自己是谁
Mama tried
妈妈没办法了
One and only rebel child from the family, meek and mild
家里那个叛逆少年,曾那么温和
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
妈妈好像知道我的未来
Despite all my
不顾一切
Sunday learning towards the bad,
周末去学坏
I kept on turning'
各种作死
Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
直到妈妈管不了
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
21岁判无期,不许假释
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
没人能管我,妈妈努力过了
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading,
妈妈想让我学好,可我不听
I deniedThat leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
我只把那当成责备,妈妈努力过了
Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my
亲爱的老爹,愿他安息
Mom a heavy load
妈妈背上沉重的负担
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
又当爹又当妈,太难
Working hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
干活不眠不休,让我过上好日子
She tried to raise me right but
她要我学好
I refusedAnd
我不干
I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
21岁判无期,不许假释
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
没人能管我,妈妈努力过了
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading,
妈妈想让我学好,可我不听
I deniedThat leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
我只把那当成责备,妈妈努力过了
