In the beginning 在开始时

Not so long ago 不久前

There were five country rockers 有五个乡村摇滚

I saw the very first show 我看到的第一个节目

And I jumped up with the crowd 我跳起来的人群

To give a standing hand 为了让一个常设的手

Livin', livin' in the band 活着，活着的乐队

   

There were two from Colorado 有来自科罗拉多州两个

Texas and Nebraska too 得克萨斯州和内布拉斯加州太

Another came from Ohio 另一位来自俄亥俄州

And they did not sing the blues 他们没有唱衰

You had the feeling 你有感觉

They had nothing to lose 他们没有什么可输

Livin', livin' in the band 活着，活着的乐队

   

Through the years and the changes 经过多年的变化

And with the will of a train 与火车的意愿

Some have parted strangers 有些人分手的陌生人

Some have stayed in the game 有些人留在游戏中

And sooner or later you've got a winning hand 早晚你有一个胜负手

Livin', livin' in the band 活着，活着的乐队

   

Through the years and the changes... 通过几年的变化...
