I was born one rainy morning in a little house across town 我在镇上一个小房子里诞生了一个下雨的早晨

Daddy liked to roam leave Mama alone 爸爸喜欢漫游独自离开妈妈

She just couldn't tie him down 她只是无法牵绊

He liked his gamblin and whiskey 他喜欢他的布林和威士忌

And mama just liked to cook and sew 而妈妈只是喜欢做饭，缝

It made me a man before my time 这时候我才让我一个人

I felt many a cold wind blow 我觉得很多冷风吹

   

Worked real hard most all of my life 真正的努力最重要的是我的生活

Bought a farmhouse out in the sticks 买了一个农家走出的棒

Set by the fire most every night 设置的最火，每天晚上

Working on my guitar licks 工作对我的吉他乐句

Before too long I was on my way 不久我在我的方式

Playing from town to town 打从城镇到另一个城镇

I guess I'm a little like Daddy was 我想我有点像爸爸了

Gotta keep on moving around 得不断的走动

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

This journey takes me far away from home 这趟旅程需要我远离家乡

Sometimes it makes me feel so alone 有时候，这让我感到如此孤独

So alone 如此孤独

   

Now I look back on yesterday 现在我回首昨天

Wondering what I'd done 想知道我会做

Did I help somebody along the way 我有没有帮助别人前进的道路

Or did I just look out for number one 还是我只是看出来的头号

I know I can't change a thing 我知道我不能改变的事情

So don't put me down 所以，不要放我下来

Cause I didn't cling to your heart 因为我没有坚持你的心脏

Oh I feel like dying when we're apart 哦，我觉得快死的时候我们分开

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

This journey takes me far away from home 这趟旅程需要我远离家乡

With nothing left to hold on to 有没有什么可以留住

But a voice from the telephone 但是，从电话中的声音

It's taken me away from every love I've ever known 这是我花远离每一个爱我所知道的

Sometimes it makes me feel so alone 有时候，这让我感到如此孤独

So alone 如此孤独
