Outlaw You
I get home from a long day
结束了疲惫的一天
Put on the radio
打开收音机
Lookin' for some country soul
试着找些乡村灵魂音乐
But I don't find it, no
但我没能如愿,我没能
It's a dirt road free for all

Some old boys sayin' they're outlaws
有些老伙计声称自己是叛道派
They dress the part and they talk the talk
他们衣冠楚楚,整得好像是那么回事
You know they've been taught to walk the walk

These boys think they're tough
这些伙计们觉得自己很了不得嘛
Like they been robbin' banks
拽得跟刚抢了银行似的
Cause they name drop Johnny Cash
因为他们可点了约翰尼·卡什的大名呢
And they name drop poor old Hank
对可怜的老汉克也毫不放过

Hey pretty boy in the baseball hat
喂,戴棒球帽的漂亮小伙们
You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
光是拿着个棒球棍可不代表你就是个乡村音乐人了
Country ain't just about where you're at
乡村风格跟你是什么样没啥关系
It's about bein' true to what's inside
它的真谛在于忠于内心
You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
穿着双锃亮短靴,说自己是叛道派
That you got from your record label's image group
这外形是唱片公司给设计的吧

Let me paint a picture for you
我来给你讲讲以前的景象吧
Nashville in '62
那是在1962年的纳什维尔
The formula had proven true
大家坚守主流的老派准则
They didn't let nothing new through
排斥所有新事物变革
When Waylon came to town
然后维隆·詹宁斯到了镇上
They didn't like his original sound
他的淳朴曲风很不受欢迎
They tried hard to keep him down
因此被众人竭力压制
They tried hard to starve him out
他们想让他吃不上饭呐
But he kept playin' shows and pressin' on
但他还在不停演出
Chippin' away, song by song
力排众议,一支接一支地唱
After years and years of strugglin' strong
经过多年的努力
He got his chance and he took it to NO.1
他终于得到机会,一举成名
With "This Time" back in '74
那时已是1974年
With his band in the back and 4 on the floor
他的乐队全力创作
That one record busted down the door
那张唱片突破陈规反响巨大
And the record labels had the control no more
唱片公司再不能只手遮天了

Then in '76 came the Outlaws record

Sold the first million in country music ever

Those old boys with long hair and braids

Stayed true to their sound and freed the slaves
诠释着压抑已久的淳朴之声
And all these years later
这么多年过去了
The suits got back their grip
道貌岸然的经纪者们又重新掌权
They took the outlaw concept and they re-packaged it
他们顶着叛道者的名头,只不过是原版概念的冒牌货
And there's a million Ol Waylon fans
老维隆那成百万的粉丝们
Singin' "Don't y'all think this outlaw bit has gotten way out of hand"
