Lifelines
I packed up my pick-up at 17
我17岁就收拾好了我的行李
With uncle Bob's old Martin guitar and a dream
带着鲍勃叔叔的旧马丁吉他和一个梦想
Went from singin' in church
在教堂里唱歌
To singin' for tips in a honky tonk
在小酒馆里唱歌要小费
直到我变成了自动点唱机
Till I became a jukebox flash
弹奏任何东西,从飞艇到现在
Play anything from Zeppelin to Cash
作为一个顽固的人
As a hard headed hard livin'
唱我自己的歌
Cover singin' cover of my own self
忘记了我的谁,我来自哪里
Forgot who I was and where I was from
然后有一天早晨,我爸爸出现了
Then early one morning my daddy showed up
救命稻草
如果没有救命稻草,我们将何去何从
Lifelines
当我们迷失在海上
Where would we be without lifelines
魔鬼让你觉得
When we're lost at sea
船不会沉
The devil's got you thinking
但你的鞋却越来越湿
That the boat ain't sinking
这就是救命稻草
But you're boots are getting wet
他们告诉你真相
That's the thing about lifelines
当你迷失的时候,你得靠你自己
They tell you the truth
我很幸运在一生中找到了一些
When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you
感谢上帝赐予我们生命
You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime
这些天我回家了
Thank God for lifelines
每周日下午
妈妈总是说;“我总是在想你”
These days I come home
我最喜欢的儿子怎么样了
Every Sunday afternoon
你是说你唯一的儿子吗
Mama always says "I was just thinking about you
我很好,和你的肉汁一样好
How's my favorite son?"
她说;“你姐姐每天都带着她的孩子过来”
"Say, you mean your only one?
但她如马般强壮
Oh I'm good, almost as good as your gravy"
她们会好起来的
She said, "Your sister stops by with her kids everyday
你爸爸总让他们忙着钓鱼
But the horse has been tough
让海狸去操心这些吧
They're gonna be OK
她说:“孩子,我知道你得挣钱
Your daddy keeps them busy watching Barbers on the Water
但别忘了挤出时间
Let some castor cares away"
放慢脚步,顺便过来看看
She said, "Son I know you gotta make money
来,吃一块真正的馅饼吧
But don't forget to make time
救命稻草
To slow down and stop by
如果没有救命稻草,我们将何去何从
Have a real piece of pie, here"
当我们迷失在海上
魔鬼让你觉得
Lifelines
船不会沉
Where would we be without lifelines
但你的鞋却越来越湿
When we're lost at sea
这就是救命稻草
The devil's got you thinking
他们告诉你真相
That the boat ain't sinking
当你迷失的时候,你得靠你自己
But you're boots are getting wet
我很幸运在一生中找到了一些
That's the thing about lifelines
感谢上帝赐予我们生命
They tell you the truth
没有救命稻草,我们会在哪里
When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you
当我们迷失在海上
You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime
魔鬼让你觉得
So thank God for lifelines
船不会沉
但你的鞋却越来越湿
Where would we be without lifelines
这就是救命稻草
When we're lost at sea
他们告诉你真相
The devil's got you thinking
当你迷失的时候,你得靠你自己
That the boat ain't sinking
我很幸运在一生中找到了一些
But you're boots are sure getting wet
感谢上帝赐予我们生命
That's the thing about lifelines
感谢上帝赐予我们生命
They tell you the truth
When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you
You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime
So thank God for lifelines
Thank God for lifelines
