Written by:Jamey Johns
I was just a normal guy
我曾是个普通男人
Life was just a nine to five
生活只是朝九晚五的循环
With bills and pressure
账单与压力
Piled up to the sky
堆积得高耸入云
She never asked
她从不追问
She knew I'd be
她知道我会
Hangin' with my wilder friends
和那群狂野的朋友厮混
Looking for some other way to fly
寻找另类的方式放纵沉沦
And three days straight was no big feat
连续三天不眠不休 不过小事一桩
Get by with no food or sleep
不吃不睡也能硬撑
And crazy was becoming my new norm
疯狂逐渐成为我的日常
I'd pass out on the bedroom floor
昏倒在卧室地板上
Sleep right through the calm
在暴风雨来临前
Before the storm
沉睡于平静假象
My life was just an old routine
我的生活只是陈腐循环
Every day the same dam'n thing
日复一日重复着同样的事
I couldn't even tell I was alive
甚至感受不到自己活着
I tell you
我告诉你
The high cost of livin'
生活的沉重代价
Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high
远不及放纵生活的代价高昂
That southern Baptist parking lot
在那南方浸信会的停车场
Is where I'd go to smoke my pot
是我吸食**的地方
Sit there in my pickup truck and pray
坐在皮卡里祈祷
Staring at that giant 'cross
凝视着那巨大的十字架
Just reminded me that I was lost
只让我意识到自己迷失方向
And it just never seemed to point the way
它却从未为我指明前路
As soon as Jesus turned his back
当耶稣刚转过身去
I find my way across the track
我便沿着铁轨继续游荡
Lookin' just to score another deal
只为寻找下一笔交易
With my back against that dam'n eight ball
背靠着那该死的八号球
I didn't have to think or talk or feel
我不必思考 不必言语 不必感受
My life was just an old routine
我的生活只是陈腐循环
Every day the same dam'n thing
日复一日重复着同样的事
I couldn't even tell I was alive
甚至感受不到自己活着
I tell you
我告诉你
The high cost of livin'
生活的沉重代价
Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high
远不及放纵生活的代价高昂
My whole life went through my head
我的一生在脑海中闪回
Layin' in that motel bed
躺在那汽车旅馆的床上
Watchin' as the cops kicked in the door
眼睁睁看着警察破门而入
I had a job and a piece of land
我曾有工作 有片自己的土地
My sweet wife was my best friend
温柔的妻子是我最好的知己
But I traded that for c*****e and a whore
却用这一切换了**与堕落
With my new found sobriety
如今清醒的新生活里
I've got the time to sit and think
我终于有时间静坐沉思
Of all the things I had and threw away
那些被我亲手抛弃的珍贵
This prison is much colder than
这牢房比寒冬更刺骨
That one that I was locked up
那段被禁锢的岁月
In just yesterday
恍如昨日重现
My life is just an old routine
我的生活只是陈旧的循环
Every day the same dam'n thing
日复一日重复着同样的事
Hell I can't even tell if I'm alive
甚至分不清自己是否还活着
I tell you
我告诉你
The high cost of livin'
生活的沉重代价
Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high
远不及放纵生活的代价高昂
I tell you
我告诉你
The high cost of livin'
生活的沉重代价
Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high
远不及放纵生活的代价高昂
