I had a job, I had a girl 我有一份工作，我有一个女孩

I had something going mister in this world 在这个世界上我有什么打算老总

I got laid off down at the lumber yard 我被裁员下来的木材场

Our love went bad, times got hard 我们的爱就不好，时间变得困难

Now I work down at the carwash 现在，我的工作倒在洗车

Where all it ever does is rain 凡所有它曾经确实是雨

Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train 难道你不觉得你是在downbound火车骑手

   

She just said "Joe I gotta go 她只是说： “乔，我得走

We had it once we ain't got it any more" 我们有一次，我们没有得到任何更多的“

She packed her bags left me behind 她收拾好了行李离开了我身后

She bought a ticket on the Central Line 她买的中央线车票

Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining 晚上我睡觉，我听到哨子呜呜

I feel her kiss in the misty rain 我觉得她的吻在烟雨

And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train 而且我觉得我在downbound火车骑手

   

Last night I heard your voice 昨天晚上，我听到你的声音

You were crying, crying, you were so alone 你哭了，哭了，你实在是太孤独

You said your love had never died 你说你的爱从来没有死

You were waiting for me at home 你在家里等着我

Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods 把我的外套，我跑过树林

I ran till I thought my chest would explode 我跑了，直到我觉得我的胸部会爆炸

There in the clearing, beyond the highway 有在空地上，超越了高速公路

In the moonlight, our wedding house shone 在月光下，我们结婚的房子照

I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door 我在院子里冲了，我从前门爆

My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed 我的头敲打坚硬，上楼梯我爬上

The room was dark, our bed was empty 房间里很暗，我们的床是空的

Then I heard that long whistle whine 然后，我听到一声长哨嗲

And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried 而我放弃了我的膝盖上，挂着我的头哭了起来

   

Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang 现在，我挥动大锤的铁路帮派

Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain 撞倒他们交叉关系，在雨中工作

Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train 现在不就觉得你是一个downbound火车骑手
