I own this horse and saddle
这匹马和鞍是我的全部
And that old cadillac
还有那辆老旧的卡迪拉克
This broken down horse trailer
这辆破败的运马车
And the clothes that are on my back
以及身上这仅有的衣裳
Well I know that it ain't a hell of a lot
我知道这些算不上什么
But it's all that I can show
却是如今我所能拥有的一切
My wife left me five years ago
五年前妻子离我远去
In one of those rodeo towns
就在一个牛仔竞技小镇里
I can't say that I blame her much
我实在不忍责怪她
She just wanted to settle down
她不过是渴望安稳度日
Oh god how I miss that woman
天知道我有多想她
It hurt so to see her go
目送她远去,我心如刀割
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
若我曾有半分聪慧,定会与她相伴
But I'm hooked on this rodeo
可我却已深陷这牛仔竞技
And I'm just a lonesome cowboy
如今我只是个孤寂的牛仔
I'm a little bit over the hill
我已不再年轻力壮
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
我本该早早放弃这份事业
But I guess I never will
但我想,我永远也做不到
So I keep on movin' from show to show
于是我辗转于一场又一场的表演
Hopin' to change my luck
盼望着能时来运转
My good ol' days are just a memory
我的辉煌岁月,如今只余追忆
But I just can't give it up
可我就是无法割舍
There was a time I used to do alright
曾几何时,我也曾风光无限
And bring home my share of the dough
将应得的报酬带回家
But now I'm losin' out to the younger boys
如今我已不敌那些少年郎
I guess I must be gettin' slow
我想我终究是渐渐迟缓
But there's one thing you learn from this
可从这经历中 你总会学到一件事
You gotta make it on your own
你必须独自撑下去
Cause when your on top you've got a million friends
当你站在顶峰 身边簇拥万千好友
But when your down buddy you're all alone
可当你跌落时 老友 只剩形单影只
My good ol days are just a memory
那些美好的旧日时光 如今只剩追忆
But I just can't give it up
可我怎能就此罢休
