And I'd play the red river valley

And he'd sit in the kitchen and he'd cry

And run his fingers

Through seventy years of living

And wonder Lord has every well I've drilled gone dry
我向主祈祷 是否我钻的每口油井都已枯竭
We were friends me and this old man
我和这位老人曾是挚友
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
Well he's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
他是个漂泊者 也是油井钻探人
And an old school man of the world
更是阅历丰富的老派绅士
He taught me how to drive his car
他教会我如何驾驶他的车
When he's too drunk to
当他醉得不省人事
And he'd wink and give me money for the girld
他会眨眨眼 塞给我找乐子的钱
And our lives were like some old western movie
我们的生活就像老西部片
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
From the time that I could walk
从我蹒跚学步时起
He'd take me with him
他就带着我同行
To a bar called the green frog cafe
去那家叫绿蛙咖啡馆的酒吧
There was old men with beer guts and dominoes
那些挺着啤酒肚玩骨牌的老人们
Lying about their lives while they played
边打牌边吹嘘着人生过往
And I was just a kid
那时我还是个孩子
They all called me sidekick
他们都叫我小跟班
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
One day I looked up and
直到某天我抬头发现
He was pushing eighty
他已年近八十高龄
And there was brown tobacco stains
他下巴上沾满褐色烟渍
All down his chin
斑驳痕迹蔓延
To me he was one of the heroes
在我心中他始终是
Of this country
这片土地的英雄
So why's he all dressed up like them old men
为何如今他衣着光鲜
Drinking beer amd playing moon and forty two
像那些喝啤酒玩纸牌的老头
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒等待那班列车
And then the day before he died
就在他离世的前一天
I went to see him
我去看望他
And I was grown and he was almost gone
我已长大成人 而他即将远去
So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
于是我们闭上双眼 梦回旧日厨房
And sang another verse to that old song
为那首老歌再唱一段
Come on jack the son of a b***h is coming
来吧杰克 那家伙要来了
We're like desperadoes waiting for a train
我们就像亡命之徒 等待着列车
Like desperadoes waiting for a train
就像亡命之徒 等待着列车
