I remember the night my dad stopped the car 我记得那晚我爸爸停下车

And got out in the rain 并得到了在雨中

Changed a blown out tire on a car 改变在车上吹出来的轮胎

For a family with out of state plates 对于一个家庭出来的状态板

I said dad did we know those folks 我说：爸，我们知道那些人

As they waved and drove out of sight 当他们挥挥手，开车的视线

He just smiled as he started the car 他只是笑笑，他发动了汽车

He said son not 'til tonight 他说，儿子没有，直到今晚

   

You see the road you leave behind you 你看你离开你身后的路

Is another road you're gonna have to come back down 是另一条路你得回来下来

It's just the way this big old world turns 'round 这只是这个大旧世界变成圆的方式

You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime 你会发现莫名其妙的地方的某个时候某个地方

You gotta go back down the road you leave behind 你得往回走，你留下的路

   

Stuck out on the highway one night 伸出高速公路上一晚

Many years gone by 过去了很多年

Had the hood of my truck pulled up 要是我的车的引擎盖拉升

My ol' gas tank was dry 我的醇煤气罐干

Some ol' guy gettin' off on the night shift 上夜班有些OL “的家伙刚开了关闭

Pulled up to check on me 拉来检查我

He said I been in your shoes before son 他说，我一直在你的鞋子的儿子前

And it's no place to be 而且它是没有地方可以

   

You see the road you leave behind you 你看你离开你身后的路

Is another road you're gonna have to come back down 是另一条路你得回来下来

It's just the way this big old world turns 'round 这只是这个大旧世界变成圆的方式

You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime 你会发现莫名其妙的地方的某个时候某个地方

You gotta go back down the road you leave behind 你得往回走，你留下的路

   

I said what do I owe you friend you could easily passed me by 我说什么，我欠你的，你可以很容易地从我身边走过的朋友

He said next time it might be me son you don't me a dime 他说，下一次可能是我的儿子，你做的不是我一毛钱

   

You see the road you leave behind you 你看你离开你身后的路

Is another road you're gonna have to come back down 是另一条路你得回来下来
