Busted Rope - Foreverinmotion

My old man had some stories
老爹有一些故事
He told them all the time
他总是如数家珍
He was a wild bastard in a former life
他曾是个浪荡子
And it carried into mine
如今又带上了我
It broke my heart what he said to me
听到这些我难过
In a call in the middle of the night
午夜那一通电话
Said "I hope you know I'm proud of you son
我为你感到骄傲
And by the way I'm running out of time"
还有我时日不多
It was my birthday when I got the news
我生日收到讯息
A greyhound ticket and some orphan blues
车票和些许忧郁
Got my girl to feed the dog so I could go back home
女友顾家我回乡
The place was still a mess just like the day I left
房间仍杂乱无章
Only difference being him not around now to leave it alone
只是他已经不在
There was a half cup of coffee and some hot rod magazines
半杯咖啡 杂志
That shitty little radio on oldies 93
怀旧频道的广播
I put on a suit and combed my hair
穿上西装梳头发
Bought a bottle of whiskey and made my way there
买瓶威士忌上路
To pay my respects to that sweet old bastard of mine
祭奠我可爱老爹
Saw some busted rope on an apple tree
苹果树上缠着绳
Just a vague idea of what it used to be
只是个模糊念头
Blowing free in the cemetery breeze
墓地微风吹着树
I held my distance from the sad eyed crowd
和他人保持距离
And the box that just carried somebody now
棺材里装着老爹
While my old man's ghost was having a drink somewhere
灵魂在别处喝酒
My mama blew town when I was 3
我三岁时妈妈亡
And he did his best to stick around for me
他尽全力照料我
I hope he knows I love him for that
希望他知我爱他
Giving up that wild life for me
为我收起浪子心
