Waiting Around To Die
Sometimes I don't know where
好吧，我有時的確不知道
This stony road is taking me
這條鋪著石子的小路究竟將把我帶向何方
Sometimes I don 't know the reason why
我有時候甚至都不知道為何要接著走下去
So I guess I'll keep gambling
所以我猜我仍舊會管不住自己，仍舊孤注一擲地豪賭
Lots of booze and lots of rambling
緊接著的就是整天的豪飲，還有整天的無聊的玩笑
Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die
不過那總要好過傻待在原地等死
Well, one time, friends
朋友們，聽著，那是好久以前的事啦
I had a ma, I even had a pa
我曾經有一個媽媽，甚至還有一個爸爸
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
有一次，爸爸因為聽到了哭聲而找起了他的皮帶
She told him to take care of me
是的，媽媽被打了，而且她告訴爸爸要好好照顧我
And headed down to Tennessee
然後頗為決絕地孤身一人去了田納西
Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die
但我理解她，這確實比哪天慘死家中要好很多
Then I became of age
後來呢，我也長大了
And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
我在塔斯卡盧薩的一個酒吧碰見了一個女孩
She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly
她掛著察覺不出的狡猾的笑，並榨乾了我的錢包
Well, I tried to kill the pain
我也曾試著驅散被騙的痛苦
I bought some wine, I hopped a train
便買了些酒，然後跳上了一輛火車來同歸殊途
Well, it was easier than just waiting around to die
我總不能就這麼爛在這塊傷心地，對不對
Then a friend said he knew
再後來，我的又一個朋友出現了
Where some easy money was
他說他能帶著我掙一些快錢
We robbed a man and brother, did we fly
於是我們搶了一個男的，哥們儿，我們當時跑得那叫一個快
But the posse caught up with me
但終究沒料到啊，竟然讓當地的一夥民兵逮到了我
And drugged me back to Muskogee
他們把我藥暈，然後押著我去了馬斯科吉
And now it's two long years, just waiting around to die
整整兩年，我只好對著那裡邊的鐵窗發呆
Now I'm out of prison
但如今我高高興興地出了獄
And I got me a friend at last
我也總算找到了一個知心朋友
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
他不是小偷，也不是騙子，更不是酒鬼，還不會對我撒謊
His name is Codeine
他是我這輩子見過的最.他.媽.好的玩意兒
And he's the nicest thing I've seen
我發誓，我們死也要同穴
And together, we're gonna wait around to die
