Someone asked me once in an interview
"What was growing up like, where'd you go to school?
And what would you do if you weren't doin' this?"
I'd be drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge
Tryin' to make rent with a dead end job, just makin' due
With tips in a jar, my guitar and an old barstool
I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
I'd still be the same guy they knew back in the day
Who was burnin' CDs just to give away
Payin' his dues if I wasn't doin' this
Five deep in a van, head full of steam
Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe comin' true
Livin' this life just like I was born to do

I'd be drivin' my first car, an old worn-out Dodge
Eu estaria dirigindo meu primeiro carro, un Dodge antigo desgastado

Copo de liquor marrom, alguns amigos numa banda
Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
Cantando as mesmas drogas de músicas que canto agora
I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage

Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
Luzes brilhantes como relâmpago correndo pelas minhas veias
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
No Grand Ole Opry ou em algum show em algum cidade desconhecida
I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
Eu ainda estaria fazendo isso se não estivesse fazendo isso
I'd still be the same guy they knew back in the day
Eu ainda seria o mesmo cara que eles conheceram aquele dia
Who was burnin' CDs just to give away
Que estava fazendo CDs só para distribuir por aí
Payin' his dues if I wasn't doin' this
Pagando suas contas, se não estivesse fazendo isso
Five deep in a van, head full of steam
Cinco ao fundo da van, cabeça cheia de vapor
Hot on the heels of my neon dreams maybe comin' true
Calor nos calcanhares do meu sonho de neon talvez se tornando verdade
Livin' this life just like I was born to do
Vivendo essa vida como fui nascido pra fazer
I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand

태어나서 이걸 하기 위해 사는 사람처럼 사는 거야
I'd have a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
금요일 밤에 군중들은 모두 내 손에 있어
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
갈색 술이 담긴 술잔, 커플 친구 밴드들
Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
지금처럼 똑같은 노래를 부르면서
I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage
난 딱딱한 나무 무대 위에서 달아오름을 느낄 거야
Bright lights like lightning runnin' through my veins
번개처럼 밝은 빛이 내 혈관을 통해 흘러
At the Grand Ole Opry or a show in some no-name town
그랜드 올 오프리나 이름 없는 동네에서 열리는 쇼에서
I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
내가 만약 이 일을 하지 않았더라도 난 여전히 이러고 있었을 거야
It ain't about the fame
명성에 관한 게 아니야
It ain't about the fortune
운에 관한 것도 아니고
It ain't about the name
이름 때문도 아니지
It ain't about the glory
영광 때문도 아니야
I guess I'm sayin' it's always been about
내 말은 항상 그래 왔다는 거야
Having a Friday night crowd in the palm of my hand
금요일 밤에 군중들은 모두 내 손에 있어
Cup of brown liquor, couple buddies in a band
갈색 술이 담긴 술잔, 커플 친구 밴드들
Singin' them same damn songs like I am now
지금 처럼 똑같은 노래를 부르면서
I'd be feelin' on fire on a hardwood stage

Someone asked me once in an interview
인터뷰에서 누군가 묻더군
"What was growing up like, where'd you go to school?
유년기를 어떻게 보냈냐고, 어떤 학교를 나왔냐고
And what would you do if you weren't doin' this"
그리고 지금 이 일을 하지 않았더라면 무슨 일을 하고 있을 것 같냐고
