歌词
Just this old guitar, I had stars in my eyes
[00: 13]没有向任何人道别就从小镇销声匿迹
I was playing bars and I was getting girls
陪着我的只有我的旧吉他，但我眼中自有星辰
I wasn't living right but I was staying high every night
我在酒吧间厮混，寻找一位心仪的女生
Underneath the glow of a neon light
我知道这样做不好但我每个晚上都可以玩得酣畅淋漓
One morning I woke up, bottles as far as I could see
在霓虹灯的辉光之下
When I closed my eyes and I drifted back to sleep, I saw
清晨醒来，满眼尽是被喝空的酒瓶
The way Mama looked at me, even though I know I had to be hell to raise
我一合上眼就已沉入梦乡，我看到了
'Cause man I raised some hell
母亲看向我的眼光，尽管我知道我必须要养活自己了
Heard Daddy say "son get your lazy ass up
因为我现在把自己搞得一团糟
'Cause there ain't no sense in sleeping all day"
听到父亲说着：“儿子快给我起来”
I thought about the folks back home and how they care about me so
“你没理由再睡一整天”
It makes me wanna set this bottle down, almost
我想到了返乡的人们和他们有多关心我
Through the haze of a smoky old saloon
这让我想要放下手中的酒瓶，不过还差一点
I saw a girl cuttin' me a grin from across the room
穿过烟雾缭绕的老酒馆
And I swear she had wings
我瞥见一个女孩对我咧嘴一笑
She loved to hear me play guitar and I loved to watch her dance and I loved to hear her sing
我发誓她绝对好似天使
One night she laid down the law, told me that I had to make a choice
她痴迷于听我弹吉他，我也喜欢她的舞蹈，爱听她唱歌
When I closed my eyes and I listened to her voice I saw
在一个夜晚她下定了决心，要让我做个抉择
The first time we held hands
我闭上眼，听见了她的歌声，我仿佛看到了
I saw the first time that we danced
我们第一次牵手的场景
I saw that one night on the creek
我回忆起我们第一次共同起舞的样子
And that night you snuck out of your dorm
回想到我们第一个在小海湾度过的夜晚
And met me down on Mountain Street
那个夜晚你偷偷地溜出宿舍
Thought about that Sumer we spent down on the coast
在高山路与我碰头
Made me wanna set this bottle down, almost
回望我们在海岸边携手度过的夏天
One last time I found myself down and out
近乎让我放下手中的酒瓶
I was just outside of Birmingham, in some no-name town
这是最近一次我发现自己穷困潦倒
I couldn't recall the night before, when I drank myself to sleep
我已经走出了伯明翰，到了一个不知名的小村落
So I threw on this old ball cap, and stumbled out into the street
我已经不能回忆起我喝酒喝得醉醺醺地睡着的那个夜晚
Too many nights of the same old same
所以我戴上这顶旧棒球帽，跌跌撞撞地走在街上
I got lost in this damn crowd
太多与以前一样荒废的夜晚
But when I packed up this old guitar case I took one last look around, and I saw
我在拥挤的人群中迷失了方向
That old barn, where I kept my first truck
但当我收起了这把旧吉他，我环顾四周，我望见了
And I walked my bird dog Bo past the pond where we killed our first duck
那个我曾经停放我第一辆卡车的旧谷仓
I saw Grandpa's garden, I can still see them pretty vines
我带着我的狗经过那个我们曾经狩猎到我们第一只鸭子的地方
But it's been some time, since they've held of muscadine
我望见了奶奶的花园，我还能看见里面长得旺盛的藤蔓
Thought about how Grandma's house still smells the same
但是应该已经过去很久了因为它们已经长出了一些玫瑰葡萄
Even though it's been a few years now, since I've seen her face
思考着为什么祖母的花园与原来充满着同样的香气
So I raised my glass up for one last toast
尽管我已经好多好多年，没有再见过她
I finally set this bottle down, almost
所以我举起我的玻璃杯一饮而尽
