I walked in and sat down, ordered me a drink 我走进去，坐下来，命令我喝一杯

Tried to wash away the fool I'd been 试图洗去我一直装糊涂

I was drowning my regrets, trying to forget 我被淹死我的遗憾，试图忘记

The crazy things I'd said to you again 疯狂的事情，我想对你说一次

Sitting there beside me was a grey haired older man 坐在那里，我的身边是一个白发苍苍的老男人

Watching as I threw that double down 看着我扔了双降

He said son don't drink so fast, make that whiskey last 他说，儿子不喝这么快，做出最后的威士忌

Theres lessons to be learned just look around 孤单汲取的教训看看周围吧

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

He said honky-tonks and heartaches 他说，白鬼，唐克斯和心痛

Alcohol and bad breaks 酒精和休息不好

They’ll teach you things that you don’t understand 他们会教给你的东西，你不明白

A bar’s a place to study 酒吧是学习的地方

About love and life and money 关于爱与生命和金钱

And this old stool will humble any man 而这个老凳子将谦卑的任何人

It might seem like the bitter end 这似乎是个你死我活

From the outside looking in 从外面看

But it’s ok to live and learn the hardway 但是，它的确定生活和学习在Hardway

That’s the school of honky-tonks and heartaches 这是白鬼，唐克斯和心痛的学校

   

I told him all about you and all about our fight 我告诉他所有关于你和我们的斗争

How everything I said just came out wrong 如何一切，我说刚出来的时候错了

He just sat and listened to my convoluted wisdom 他只是坐在那里听我费解的智慧

I knew I ain’t fooling him at all 我知道我是不是在愚弄他在所有

He said son you’re mighty clever, you’ve got it figured out 他说，儿子你大能的聪明，你有它想通了

But your common sense took a backseat to your pride 但是，你的常识了后座，以你的骄傲

Then all at once it hit me and it wasn’t just the whiskey 然后，一下子就击中了我，它不只是威士忌

A burning feeling told me he was right 燃烧的感觉告诉我，他是对的

   

[Repeat chorus] [重复合唱]

A bar’s a place to study 酒吧是学习的地方

About love and life and money 关于爱与生命和金钱
