When I was working nights to pay one more bill 当我工作晚付多了一个法案

Well I looked in his room when I got home 嗯，我看了看自己的房间里，当我回到家

And underneath the covers found a loaded gun 而盖下方找到一把上膛的枪

He looked at me with empty eyes 他看着我，眼神空洞

He said, "It's time for me to be moving on" 他说：“现在是时候让我可以移动的”

I spoke to my woman the other day 我跟我的女人有一天

The roar of the train runs by my room 火车的轰鸣声跑了我的房间

And on these summer nights I can't sleep anymore 而在这些夏天的夜晚我无法入睡了

I walk in the streets to greet the dawn 我走在大街上迎接黎明
