歌词
[Chase Rice]
Well there's always been groups of people that never could see eye to eye
[Chase Rice]
And I always thought if they ever had a chance to sit down and talk face to face
They might realize they got a lot in common
[Ned LeDoux]
[Ned LeDoux]
Well I was sittin' in a coffee shop
[Chase Rice]
Just havin' a cup to pass the time
[Chris LeDoux]
Swappin' rodeo stories with this old cowboy friend of mine
[Ned LeDoux]
When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back
总有些人总是互相看不惯对方
Started pokin' fun at my friend's hat
但我总觉得如果他们一起坐下面对面聊上几句
One ol' boy said "Hey Tex where'd you park your horse?"
他们可能意识到彼此气味相投
My friend just pulled his hat down low but they couldn't be ignored
One husky fella said "I think I'll rip that hat right off your head."
有一天我坐在咖啡店里
That's when my friend turned around and this is what he said
喝着咖啡打发时间
和熟识的老牛仔聊着牛仔竞技的故事
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
身后的几个摩托车手窃笑不停
Rope an old Blue Northern and milk it till it's dry
开始拿我朋友的帽子打趣
Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
一个家伙说:"德州佬,你的马栓哪了?"
Long before you take this cowboy's hat
看见我朋友默不作声,只是压低帽檐,这帮人就更加得寸进尺
一个彪形大汉说:"看来得把你的帽子从你头上打掉."
"Now partner,this old hat is better left alone
这几句话便是老牛仔转身之后说的
You see it used to be my daddy's
But last year he passed on
你要骑着狂猛飓风(西部传奇故事Pecos Bill能驾驭龙卷风)穿过西部苍穹
My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this ol' hatband
套住Blue Northern(一只以力量和速度闻名的公牛)挤干它的奶
And back in '69 he died in Vietnam
圈住密西西比河,让其无法奔腾流淌
Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine
才有资格拿到这顶牛仔帽
But somebody ran him down somewhere around that Arizona line
And a real special lady gave me this hat pin
伙计,你最好离这顶帽子远一点
But I don't know if I'll ever see her again
这帽子本来是我老爹的
但是去年他过世了
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
这帽带是用我侄子剥的响尾蛇皮来装饰的
Rope an ol Blue Norther and milk it till it's dry
但69年他死在了越南
Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
这根鹰羽是一位印第安朋友给我的
Long before you take this cowboy's hat
但有人把他赶到了亚利桑那一带
这帽针是一位对我意义特殊的女士送我的
"Now,if that old leather jaket means to you what this hat means to me
但我不知道未来是否还能再见她一面
Well,I guess we understand each other and we'll just let it be
But if you still think it's funny, you've got my back up against the wall
你要骑着狂猛飓风,穿过西部苍穹
And if you touch my hat,you're gonna have to fight us all"
套住Blue Northern,挤干它的奶
Well right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes
圈住密西西比河,让其无法奔腾流淌
And he turned back to the others and they all just kinda shuffled on outside
才有资格拿到这顶牛仔帽
But when my friend turned back towards me
I noticed his ol' hat brim
那这顶帽子对我的意义就像是你这身皮夹克对你的意义
Well it was turned up in a big ol' Texas grin
我想如果我们彼此理解对方,这件事就让它过去吧
可要是你们觉得这很搞笑,那就是在逼我动手
"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
如果你们想碰我的帽子,你们先得把我俩打趴下"
Rope an ol Blue Norther and milk it till it's dry
此时我看见他们老大那瞪大的眼睛里掠过一丝悲伤
Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
随后他转过身,带着那帮人缓步走出小店
Long before you take this cowboy's hat"
但当我朋友朝我转过身
