Outlaw You
I get home from a long day
結束了疲憊的一天
Put on the radio
打開收音機
Lookin for some country soul
試著找些鄉村靈魂音樂
But I dont find it, no
但我沒能如願,我沒能
Its a dirt road free for all
那是首免費收聽的泥土道路
Some old boys sayin theyre outlaws
有些老伙計聲稱自己是叛道派
They dress the part and they talk the talk
他們衣冠楚楚,整得好像是那麼回事
You know theyve been taught to walk the walk
他們所受的教育要求他們言行一致
These boys think theyre tough
這些伙計們覺得自己很了不得嘛
Like they been robbin banks
拽得跟剛搶了銀行似的
Cause they name drop Johnny Cash
因為他們可點了約翰尼·卡什的大名呢
And they name drop poor old Hank
對可憐的老漢克也毫不放過

Hey pretty boy in the baseball hat
餵,戴棒球帽的漂亮小伙們
You couldnt hit country with a baseball bat
光是拿著個棒球棍可不代表你就是個鄉村音樂人了
Country aint just about where youre at
鄉村風格跟你是什麼樣沒啥關係
Its about bein true to whats inside
它的真諦在於忠於內心
You say youre an outlaw with your perfect boots
穿著雙鋥亮短靴,說自己是叛道派
That you got from your record labels image group
這外形是唱片公司給設計的吧
Sing another mans song with a big drum loop
打著大鼓,唱著別人的歌
Listen, son, you aint got a clue
聽著,孩子,你根本是一竅不通
You cant buy true
真情實感是買不來的
Tell you what they should do
我來告訴你他們該做什麼
They should outlaw you
你們才是該被打壓的那個

Let me paint a picture for you
我來給你講講以前的景象吧
Nashville in 62
那是在1962年的納什維爾
The formula had proven true
大家堅守主流的老派準則
They didnt let nothing new through
排斥所有新事物變革
When Waylon came to town
然後維隆·詹寧斯到了鎮上
They didnt likehis original sound
他的淳樸曲風很不受歡迎
They tried hard to keep him down
因此被眾人竭力壓制
They tried hard to starve him out
他們想讓他吃不上飯吶
But he kept playin shows and pressin on
但他還在不停演出
Chippin away, song by song
力排眾議,一支接一支地唱
After years and years of strugglin strong
經過多年的努力
He got his chance and he took it to NO.1
他終於得到機會,一舉成名
With 'This Time' back in 74
那時已是1974年
With his band in the back and 4 on the floor
他的樂隊全力創作
That one record busted down the door
那張唱片突破陳規反響巨大
And the record labels had the control no more
唱片公司再不能隻手遮天了

Then in 76 came the Outlaws record
到了1976年,叛道派曲風唱片記錄誕生了
Sold the first million in country music ever
鄉村音樂史上出現了賣出一百萬張的唱片
Those old boys with long hair and braids
這些留著長發和辮子頭的老伙計們
Stayed true to their sound and freed the slaves
詮釋著壓抑已久的淳樸之聲
And all these years later
這麼多年過去了
The suits got back their grip
道貌岸然的經紀者們又重新掌權
They took the outlaw concept and they re-packaged it
他們頂著叛道者的名頭,只不過是原版概念的冒牌貨
And theres a million Ol Waylon fans
老維隆那成百萬的粉絲們
Singin 'Dont yall think this outlaw bit has gotten way out of hand'
高歌著“你不覺得這所謂的叛道已經偏離正軌了嗎”
