I was headed north on Highway 5 我向北公路5

On a starlit Sunday night 在一个星光灿烂的周日晚上

When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control 当皮卡车飞到了我失控

As I watched in my headlights, 当我看到我的车头灯，

He swerved left and then back right 他突然转向左边，然后再向右

Never hit the brakes as he left the road 千万不要踩刹车，他离开的路上

   

I found him lying in the grass among steel and glass 我发现他趴在草丛中的钢铁和玻璃之间

With an empty whiskey bottle by his side 一个空的威士忌酒瓶在他身边

Through the blood and tears, he whispered in my ear 经过血与泪，他在我耳边轻声说

A few last words just before he died 只是在他去世前最后几个单词

   

And he said, "Don't tell mama I was drinking 他说， “不要告诉妈妈，我喝

Cause Lord knows that her soul would never rest 原因上帝知道，她的灵魂永远不会休息

Now I can't leave this world with my mama thinking 现在，我不能离开这个世界与我的妈妈思考

That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath" 我遇见主威士忌在我的呼吸“

   

I still think about that night 我还是想想那个夜晚

And how that young man died 如何年轻男子死亡

And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes 和别人怎么有时付出我们的错误

Well the last thing on his mind 以及在他心中的最后一件事

As he left this world behind 当他离开这个世界的背后

Was knowing someone else's heart would break 是知道别人的心脏都要碎了

   

And he said, "Don't tell mama I was drinking 他说， “不要告诉妈妈，我喝

Cause Lord knows that her soul would never rest 原因上帝知道，她的灵魂永远不会休息

Now I can't leave this world with my mama thinking 现在，我不能离开这个世界与我的妈妈思考

That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath" 我遇见主威士忌在我的呼吸“

   

"Don't tell mama I was drinking “不要告诉妈妈，我喝

Cause Lord knows that her soul would never rest 原因上帝知道，她的灵魂永远不会休息

Now I can't leave this world with my mama thinking 现在，我不能离开这个世界与我的妈妈思考

That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath 我遇见主威士忌在我的呼吸

That I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath" 我遇见主威士忌在我的呼吸“
