He was standing on the highway 他站在公路上

Somewhere way out in the sticks 某处的出路在支

Guitar across his shoulder 在他的肩膀吉他

Like a 30 ought six 像30应该6

He was staring in my headlights 他盯着我的车头灯

When I come around the bend 当我来到我身边的弯

Climbed up on my shotgun side 爬上我的猎枪端

And told me with a grin 并告诉我笑着

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

I'm going to New York City 我要去纽约市

I never really been there 我从来没有去过那里

Just like the way it sounds 就像这样听起来

I heard the girls are pretty 我听到了女子都很漂亮

There must be something happening there 一定有什么东西发生有

It's just too big a town 这只是太大的小镇

   

He was cold and wet and hungry 他又冷又湿的饿

But he never did complain 但他从来没有抱怨

Said he'd come a thousand miles 说他会来千里

Through sleet and snow and rain 通过雨夹雪和雪和雨

He had a hundred stories 他有一百个故事

About the places that he'd been 关于他会去过的地方

He'd hang around a little while 他会流连了一会儿

And hit the road again 并再次上路

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

See I've been to New York City 看我去过纽约

Seems like it was yesterday 昨天似乎就像是

I was standing like a pilgrim 我站在像一个朝圣者

On the Great White Way 在大白路

The girls were really pretty 姑娘们真的很漂亮

But they wouldn't talk to me 但是，他们不会跟我说话

I held out about a week 我伸出一个星期左右

Went back to Tennessee 回到田纳西州

   

So, I thought I'd better warn him 所以，我想我最好还是警告他

As he climbed out of my car 当他爬出我的车

Grabbed his battered suitcase 抓住他的受虐手提箱

And shouldered his guitar 并承担了他的吉他

I knew I was just jealous 我知道我只是嫉妒

If I didn't wish him well 如果我不希望他一切顺利

I slipped the kid a twenty 我悄悄的小子20

Said 'Billy give 'em hell' 说： “比利给他们地狱

   

[Chorus 2x] [合唱2倍]
