One Piece At A Time - Johnny Cash

Well I left Kentucky back in '49

An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
回到底特律，过着三点一线的生活
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
每当我看到有美女走过
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry

'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black
因为我一直想要一个有着长长的黑发的美女
One day I devised myself a plan

That should be the envy of most any man

I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
我要拿着便当，悄悄离开这里
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
被抓到就糟糕了
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
但我想在退休之前能成功一次
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand
我想有一辆属于自己的豪车
I'd get it one piece at a time
我会一点一点的开始攒
And it wouldn't cost me a dime

You'll know it's me when I come through your town

I'm gonna ride around in style
我开着时髦的车在到处逛
I'm gonna drive everybody wild

'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round
因为我只能开一圈
So the very next day when I punched in

With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends

I left that day with a lunch box full of gears

Now I never considered myself a thief

Especially if I strung it out over several years

And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk

Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome

The little things I could get in my big lunchbox

Like nuts an' bolts and all four shocks

So we drilled it out so that it would fit

And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit

We had that engine runnin' just like a song
发动机开始发动，声音就像唱歌
Now the headlight' was another sight
如今，车前灯又是一个问题
We had two on the left and one on the right

But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on

The back end looked kinda funny too

About that time my wife walked out

And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts

But she opened the door and said "Honey take me for a spin "

So we drove up town just to get the tags
所以我们开车出去，取牌照
And I headed her right on down main drag

I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
