He was 18 years of age, born to a dirt poor family 他是18岁，出生在一个灰尘贫困家庭

In the middle of the Texas plains, no matter how hard he tried 在德州平原，中间不管如何努力，他试图

He couldn't seem to please the young man staring back from the broken mirror 他似乎无法取悦年轻男子从破碎的镜子盯着

So he packed his bags one night to go out and make it on his own 于是，他收拾好自己的行李有一天晚上出去，并使其对自己的

   

As he traveled down that dusty drive, he took a glance in the rearview mirror 当他游历下来的尘土飞扬的车程，他采取了一眼后视镜

He saw the shadow standing there he watched his father wave goodbye gently 他看到的影子站在那里，他看着父亲挥手告别轻轻

As if he seemed to say good luck son in everything you do 好像他似乎在说：一切好运的儿子，你做的

We hope to see you soon 我们希望尽快见到你

   

I don't know where I'm going in my life 我不知道我会在我的生命

But I've got to find my way in this world 不过，我已经找到我的方式在这个世界上

I've done all that I can do here 我所做的一切，我可以在这里做

There's so much left for me to do 有这么多的留给我做

I don't really know if I'm doing the right thing 我真的不知道，如果我做了正确的事情

I'm gonna make a man out of myself if it kills me 我要让一个人走出自己，如果它杀死我

You gotta make your dreams come true 你必须让你的梦想成真

   

He pulled into the city bright lights all around 他拉进了城市明亮的灯光各地

Cars flying by his old beat up truck 汽车飞被他击败的老卡车

Yeah he's doubting himself a little but he knows he can't turn back 是啊，他是怀疑自己一点点，但他知道他不能回头

For the most he used to be is already gone there's nothing left for him back home 因为他曾经是已经消失了的，没有什么留给他回家最

   

So he got a cheap apartment, spent his nights making cocktails 于是，他得到了一个便宜的公寓，花了他晚上做鸡尾酒

At a local bar that was just right up the street 当时正好在街上当地一家酒吧

It was 3 o'clock in the morning all the wanted was the tips he made that night 这是在凌晨3点所有想要的是提示他做了那一夜

But the country boy refused much to their surprise, they left him laying there in the street 但该国的男孩不肯多给他们吃惊的是，他们离开了他躺在那儿，在街上

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

His parents got a knock at the door the very next afternoon 他的父母得到了敲门声在第二天的下午

It was a young woman wearing a red t-shirt and jeans 这是一个年轻女子，身穿红色T恤和牛仔裤

She said I'm your son's wife and this here's your grandson 她说，我是你儿子的妻子，这，这是你的孙子

And here's a letter he never got around to mailing you, I just thought you both should 而这里的一封信，他很少抽时间去邮寄你的，我只是觉得你俩应该

   

(And that letter said) （这封信说的）

   

[Chorus 2:] [合唱2 ： ]

I finally know where my life's headed to 我终于知道了我的生活要开始在

And I've finally found my place in this world 而我终于找到我的地方在这个世界上

I've done all that I know to do 我所做的一切，我知道这样做

And I owe it all to what you put me through 我欠这一切是你让我经历

I just got married and I've got a son 我刚刚结婚，我有一个儿子

Dad I named him after you 爸爸我命名了他之后，你

And I've made all my dreams come true 而我做了我所有的梦想成真
