And a dozen towns ago 和十几年前的城镇

I reached out one night 我伸手一晚

And you were gone 和你走了

Don't know why you'd run, 不知道为什么你会跑，

What you're running to or from 你正在运行或从什么

All I know is I want to bring you home 我只知道我要带你回家

   

So I'm walking in the rain, 所以，我走在雨中，

Thumbing for a ride 翻阅兜风

On this lonely Kentucky backroad 在这个寂寞的肯塔基backroad

I've loved you much too long 我曾经爱过你太长时间

And my love's too strong 我的爱是太强大了

To let you go, never knowing 让你走，永远不知道

What went wrong 出了什么问题

   

Kentucky rain keeps pouring down 肯塔基州暴雨持续倾泻而下

And up ahead's another town 而前方的另一个城市

That I'll go walking thru 那我会去走通

With the rain in my shoes, 在我的鞋在雨中，

Searchin for you Searchin你

In the cold Kentucky rain, 在寒冷的肯塔基的雨，

In the cold Kentucky rain 在寒冷的雨水肯塔基州

   

Showed your photograph 显示你的照片

To some old gray bearded man 一些老灰胡子的男人

Sitting on a bench 坐在长椅上

Outside a gen'ral store 外genral店

They said "Yes, she's been here" 他们说： “是的，她一直在这里”

But their memory wasn't clear 但他们的记忆是不明确

Was it yesterday, 是不是昨天，

So I fin'ly got a ride 所以我finly有一搭

With a preacher man who asked 一个传道人谁问

"Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?" “你在哪里绑定在这样一个黑暗的下午？ ”

As we drove on thru the rain 当我们驱车上通雨

As he listened I explained 当他听我解释

And he left me with a prayer 他给我留下了祈祷

That I'd find you 那我会找到你
