I hit the road in a '52 Ford 我在一个52福特上路

A pack of matches 比赛一包

And a postcard on the dashboard 而仪表盘上的明信片

The sun was set 太阳已经下山

The gas gauge was low 瓦斯超限低

And it was time to go 而现在是时候去

   

I met the girl at a juke joint on the fly 我遇到的女孩在绕树联合对飞

Needed a friend the day my mother died 那天我母亲去世需要的朋友

Her place was hot and it smelled of sin 她的地方是热的，它闻到了罪

I guess when one life goes another begins 我想，当一个生命进入另一个开始

   

Hey now, what you gonna do? 嘿，现在，你该怎么办？

Got a fiver in your pocket 在你的口袋里有一个五元美钞

And a switchblade in your boot 而在你的引导弹簧刀

Hey now what you gonna say 嘿，现在你要怎么说

To make it go away? 为了让它消失？

   

I found the city by the mark on the stamp 我发现这个城市的印记邮票

Studied it under the light of a hotel lamp 下一个酒店灯的光线影响它

I found his work, I found their home 我发现他的工作，我发现自己的家

I waited until I knew she was alone 我等待着，直到我知道她是孤独

I didn't want the child to see life 我不想让孩子看到生命

I justified that it wounded my pride í有道理，它受伤的我的骄傲

My mind was set that no one could know 我的心定，没有人能知道

The girl had to go 这个女孩不得不去

   

Hey now, what you gonna do? 嘿，现在，你该怎么办？

Got a fiver in your pocket 在你的口袋里有一个五元美钞

And a switchblade in your boot 而在你的引导弹簧刀

Hey now what you gonna say 嘿，现在你要怎么说

To make it go away? 为了让它消失？

   

Hey now, what you gonna do? 嘿，现在，你该怎么办？

Got a fiver in your pocket 在你的口袋里有一个五元美钞

And a switchblade in your boot 而在你的引导弹簧刀

Hey now what you gonna say 嘿，现在你要怎么说

To make it go away? 为了让它消失？

   

Light stumbled in 光在跌跌撞撞

Through a crack in the shades 通过阴影的裂缝

Reflected off of the edge of my blade 反射离开我的刀片的刀刃的

As I reached for the girl 当我到达的女孩

With the knife in my hand 用刀在我手中

I thought "I guess the kid deserves a chance" 我想：“我想孩子应该得到一个机会”

Her man came in as I started to go 她的男人走了进来，因为我开始去

My last intentions; how could he know? 我最后的愿望;他怎么会知道？

The blade sunk deep into my skin 深陷进我的皮肤刀片

I guess when one life goes another begins 我想，当一个生命进入另一个开始
