Drinkin’ Man - George Strait

Drinkin' Man - George Strait (乔治·斯特雷特)

I woke up this mornin' and I swore to God
一大早醒来 我对天发誓
I'd never ever take another drink again
我以后滴酒不沾
I fought it like the devil but you know that you're in trouble
喝酒后就像和恶魔斗争 但那时你知道你已深陷麻烦之中
When you're fourteen and drunk by 10am
你只有十四岁 酒醉就到早上十点
Tried to hide it from my mom and dad all my friends said straighten up
我的朋友都说 赶紧整理好 别让我爸妈发现
I just laughed said you don't understand
我笑着说 你们不懂
That's a hell of a lot to ask a drinkin' man
那对一个醉汉来说太艰巨了
At sixteen I was on my own and flyin' high
十六岁那会儿 我自力更生
And stayin' stoned
但还是醉醺醺的
I knew everything there was to know
我清楚将要发生的事情
I did things I can't talk about
我做了我难以启齿的事情
I wore my mom and daddy out
我爸妈被我折腾得死去活来
Late nights they spent prayin' for my soul

Stayed sober once for nine days in a row
九天以来我第一次清醒
I quit cold turkey and damn near almost

Made it to ten

I look into the mirror bottle in my hand

I'd like to pour it out I just don't think I can

'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

I don't know when or where it was or how we met

And fell in love
并爱上了你
Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me

I tried to pull myself together hopin' we could last forever

For awhile I started to believe
