I met her down in Tampa Bay 我坦帕湾遇见了她下来

Spring break '88 春假88

She came in to hear my band play 她进来听我的乐队表演

And man we were on that night 和人，我们都在那一夜

Twin guitars and 20-minute jams 双吉他和20分钟的拥堵

"Tush", "Cocaine", and "Sweet Home Alabam" “呸” ， “可卡因”，而“情归阿拉巴马”

I knew I had her in the palm of my hand 我知道我让她在我的手掌

When I stepped in the spotlight 当我踩在聚光灯下

Hot-n-heavy in that little alley 热正重的那个小胡同

On a fifteen minute break 在十五分钟的休息时间

We shared a cigarette, long kiss 我们分享了一支烟，长吻

Then she stood there by the stage 然后，她的舞台站在那里

All night by the stage 整晚的舞台

What can I say? 我能说什么？

She loved me 她爱我

   

But after five long years of trying to be a star 但经过五年漫长的岁月里，试图成为明星

I sold my acts and I quit them bars 我卖我的行为，我不干了他们吧

Had a couple new mouths to feed 有一对夫妇的新多人要供养

And eventually that monthly wage 最终的月工资

And the finer points of the suburban age 而郊区岁的细点

All became bars on a cage 都成了一个笼子里吧

And man it was killing me 和人这是我的命

I started cussin' and getting mad at nothin' 我开始cussin “和惹毛了，在没什么

And blaming her for ruining my life 并指责她毁了我的生活

Started sinking, cheating, and a-drinking 开始下沉，欺骗和饮酒

But she stood there by my side 但她在我身边站在那里

Right there by my side 在那里我身边

With tears in her eyes 泪水在她的眼里

   

And she loved me 她爱我

God, I miss them kids 上帝，我想念他们的孩子

As for me I'm twelve steps down the line 至于我，我是12步的路线

I found a church that I like just fine 我发现我喜欢就好了一座教堂

Even got a gig playing these songs of mine 甚至有一个演出打我这首歌曲

They all just reminisce 他们都只是回忆

   

Hot-n-heavy in that little alley 热正重的那个小胡同

On a fifteen minute break 在十五分钟的休息时间

We shared a cigarette, long kiss 我们分享了一支烟，长吻

Then she stood there by the stage 然后，她的舞台站在那里
