歌词
Well I ain't never been an angel
我从来不是个纯洁天使
I ain't never been called a saint
也不会被人们尊称圣人
Yeah, I've decorated every bar in town
我出现在这小镇的每一间酒吧
With a big red coat of paint
和朋友们疯玩嬉笑(引申自paint the town red)
But good thing I had a good raisin'
但好在我从小受到良好熏陶
For all the Hell I've raised since then
即使后来我也犯下诸多错误
When that roll is called up yonder
当我大限已至 上头有人叫我过去时
I know they've gonna let me in
他们也会允许我迈入天堂的大门
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
因为我的灵魂 被紧紧攥在耶稣的手中
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
他永远不会放开 永远不会将我放弃
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold
纵使恶魔妄图将我夺走 也无法控制我的信仰
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
因为我的灵魂 被紧紧攥在耶稣的手中
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
他永远不会放开 永远不会对我放手
Might have a little rust on my halo
即使我头顶的光环不再闪耀 锈迹斑驳
But when I'm gone I know where I'll go
当我离开这人世 我也清楚我将去往何处
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
只因我的灵魂 与我的上帝紧紧相连
Now I've been a little more cold beer
可能我这一辈子喝的啤酒
Than holy water, it's true
比供奉过的圣水多太多 我也不敢否认
More Saturday night on an old bar stool
周六晚待在吧台高脚凳上的时间
Than a Sunday morning pew
比周天清晨在教堂前排长了不少
But even old Hank Williams
但就算是老汉克那样的家伙(指Hank Williams Jr)
Finally saw the light
最终也看到了那道圣光
And, oh hallelujah, I have too
最终我也只会赞美上帝 拥入他的怀抱
And it ain't just the neon kind
除了酒吧的霓虹环绕 心中的信仰也从未动摇
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul
因为我的灵魂 被紧紧攥在耶稣的手中
And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go
他永远不会放开 永远不会将我放弃
The Devil reaches out but he can't grab hold

'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul

And he ain't letting go, he ain't letting go

Might have a little rust on my halo
即使我头顶的光环不再闪耀 锈迹斑驳
But when I'm gone I know where I'll go
当我离开这人世 我也清楚我将去往何处
'Cause Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah
只因我的灵魂 与我的上帝紧紧相连
Jesus got a tight grip on my soul, yeah
耶稣牢牢守护着我的灵魂
Whoa, I got a long, long way to go
人生路漫漫 前路还长
Whoa, but I'm gonna get there I know
