Onto the other stuff that's worse

I'll do no harm if I bend my arm
若我举杯畅饮
To ease my endless thirst
只为解我无尽渴求
So many of our brothers
多少手足兄弟
In early life did lose
英年早逝离世
We're either way up in the clouds

North many long years ago
已是多年以前
Our songs were played at 4 am and country radio
我们的歌在凌晨四点 乡村电台里回响
Oh they called us hicks and hillbillies
人们叫我们乡巴佬
And sometimes even worse
有时骂得更难听
Twas enough to drive a man to drink
这足以让人借酒消愁
Excuse my endless thirst
原谅我无尽的渴求
So from cowboy songs to country songs

It's been a long hard grind

We were looked upon with such
在那美好的旧时光里
Disdain back in the good old times
我们曾饱受轻蔑眼光
And as old GP and few like me

Couldn't give tinkers curse
从不在乎世俗眼光
We've done it all our way anyway

Those smart bandwagon hoppers

Wouldn't spit on the country scene
对乡村音乐嗤之以鼻
When we were in the doldrums
当我们陷入低谷时
Now they're bursting at the seams
如今他们却趋之若鹜
Oh they prance around
他们在城市俱乐部里
Like peacocks in city clubs and halls
像孔雀般趾高气扬
But fancy boots and hats
但华丽的靴帽装扮
Don't make a fine star after all
终究造就不了真正的明星
So I'll just stick to my old bush songs
所以我只唱那些老旧的乡村歌谣
The ones that I enjoy
那些我真心热爱的曲调
Oh you'll understand my stories
你会听懂我的故事
I'm not makin' too much noise
我并非在无病呻吟
And if I should die from alcohol
若酒精终将夺走我的生命
Then I won't be the first
我也绝非第一个
