[Merle Haggard] [ Merle枯槁]

Several years ago 几年前，

He gave up everything that mattered 他放弃了一切，要紧

And rambled off to Nashville Tennessee 和天马行空关到田纳西州的纳什维尔

   

With a pocket full of country songs 怀着满腔的乡村歌曲的口袋

And his old guitar 而他的老吉他

He thought that's where he was supposed to be 他认为这就是他应该是

   

But the family stood here waiting and his songs 但他的家人站在这里等着和他的歌

Are getting faded 越来越褪色

There's probably not a nickel in his jeans 有可能不是在他的牛仔裤镍

   

But if he don't get good enough 但是，如果他没有得到足够的好

To sing his way back home 唱回家的路上

He knows that he can always count on me 他知道，他总是可以指望我

Momma is Joe still driving 妈妈是乔还是驾驶

Them old nails out in Colorado 他们老钉在科罗拉多州

Lord I always thought a-lot of him 主啊，我一直以为，很多他

   

You know maybe someday 你知道也许有一天

Me and this old guitar 我和这个老吉他

Just might happen to get lucky 只是可能发生撞大运

And I'll get a chance to go back and visit my old friends 我将有机会回去看望我的老朋友

Did Sonny get that ranch he always wanted 难道桑尼拿到的牧场，他一直想

That's my boy 这就是我的孩子

Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy to 主啊，我曾经想成为一名牛仔

But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older 但我仍然坚持在这里纳什维尔写歌和变老

Mostly I always think about you 多数时候我总是想起你

   

[Merle Haggard] [ Merle枯槁]

I wonder where he'd be right now 我不知道他会成为现在

If he was not a dreamer 如果他不是一个梦想家

And if he was just 如果他只是

A little more like me 有点像我

   

He wouldn't be in Nashville 他不会在纳什维尔

Reaching for the stars 摘星

And wishing things were like they used to be 并希望事情就像他们曾经是
