Sometimes I go walking through the long tall grass 有时我经过很长高高的草丛走

Wonder how long hard times will last 不知道多久困难时期将持续

For this backward soul on a road that god knows where 对于在道路上这种落后的灵魂，上帝知道在哪里

As hard as I try ain't left no track 硬如我尽量不留下任何轨迹

It's not enough to find my way back 这是不够的，找到回去的路

I hit the ground like broken glass and just lay there 我打在地上像破碎的玻璃，只是躺在那里

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

Singing why me, oh why me 唱歌为什么是我，哦，为什么我

And I throw another empty bottle up against the wall 我扔在墙上的另一个空瓶了

And I say why me, oh why me 我说为什么是我，哦，为什么我

But pitty never ever did me any kinda good at all 但贝蒂从来没有做过任何我还挺好的可言

So I walk on 所以，我走在

   

And I wound up on the capital steps 我结束了在首都的步骤

Watching the lobbyists smoking cigarettes 看着抽烟的说客

And bury their shoes in the country club blues 埋葬他们的鞋子，在乡村俱乐部蓝调

And who got who by the short hairs 又是谁的短毛了谁

   

Standing there in their high dollar suits 在高美元的西装站在那里

Looking down at my tattered old jeans and boots 低头看着我破烂的旧牛仔裤和靴子

And this weathered guitar that seems to follow me everywhere 而这种风化的吉他，似乎跟着我到处

God it follows me everywhere 上帝就跟着我到处

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

Playing why me, oh why me 为什么打我，哦，为什么我

All I got's another song about how money makes and breaks the law 我得到的是关于如何让钱另一首歌曲，并触犯刑律

And I sing why me, oh why me 我唱我为什么，哦，为什么我

I'm just a broke troubadore with a bark for the underdog 我只是一个一文不名troubadore用树皮为弱旅

So I walk on 所以，我走在

   

Now I ain't Jesus, but I can relate 现在，我是不是耶稣，但我能与

To a man looking death square in the face 在面对一个人看死方

Even he hit his knees with a plea in the garden of gethsemane 即使他击中了他的膝盖认罪在客西马尼园

To his holy father he raised his eyes 他的神圣的父亲，他抬起眼睛

In his darkest hours he cried 在他最黑暗的时刻，他哭了

Please would you take this cup from me 请你会从我这里拿这杯

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

Praying why me, oh why me 祈祷为什么是我，哦，为什么我

Knowing all the while he had to carry that cross and hang there 知道所有的同时，他不得不随身携带的十字架，挂有

When I say why me, oh me 当我说为什么是我，哦，我

I know that somewhere up in heaven there's a big old book with my name there 我知道在某处在天堂有我的名字里有一个很大的老书

So I walk on, I rock on 于是我走过去，我摇滚的

Even when I'm singing, why me, I rock on 即使当我唱歌，所以我，我对摇滚

Even when I'm singing, why me, I rock on 即使当我唱歌，所以我，我对摇滚
