Night Rider's Lament

    夜行者的叹息Garth Brooks

    One night while I was out a ridin'The graveyard shift, midnight 'til dawnThe moon was bright as a readin' lightFor a letter from an old friend back home

    And he asked meWhy do you ride for your moneyTell me why do you rope for short payYou ain't a'gettin' nowhere

    And you're loosin' your shareBoy, you must have gone crazy out there

    He said last night I ran on to JennyShe's married and has a good lifeAnd boy you sure missed the trackWhen you never come back

    She's the perfect professional's wife

    And she asked meWhy does he ride for his moneyAnd tell me why does he rope for short payHe ain't a'gettin' nowhere

    And he's loosin' his share

    Boy he must've gone crazy out there

    Ah but they've never seen the Northern LightsThey've never seen a hawk on the wingThey've never spent spring on the Great DivideAnd they've never heard ole' camp cookie sing

    Well I read up the last of my letterAnd I tore off the stamp for black JimAnd when Billy rode up to relieve meHe just looked at my letter and grinned

    He said nowWhy do they ride for their moneyTell me why do they ride for short payThey ain't a'gettin' nowhere

    And they're loosin' their shareBoy, they must've gone crazy out thereSon, they all must be crazy out there

    中文歌词：

    一天晚上，我骑着马值夜班直至黎明

    月光明亮如灯

    为我照亮了一封归家老友的来信

    他问我你为何还在为挣钱而操劳

    为何还被那点微薄的收入束缚

    你不该那么不思进取

    你正在迷失自我

    老兄，你一定是疯了

    他还告诉我昨夜他遇到了Jenny她已经成了家过上了好日子

    老兄你已经错过了她

    只因你一直没有回来

    她已经成为了别人的妻子＂

    Jenny问到我他为何还在为挣钱而操劳

    为何还被那点微薄的收入束缚

    他不该那么不思进取

    他正在迷失自我

    哎．．．他一定是疯了＂

    呵呵可惜他们没有见过北极光

    也从未欣赏过雄鹰翱翔于天际

    他们更没有感受过大峡谷春日

    也不可能听到那些沿路的歌谣．．．

    我读完信撕下那枚Black Jim的邮票

    这时Billy过来接我的班

    在看了我的信之后他露出了一丝微笑

    感叹道他们为什么要为金钱而操劳？

    为何还被那点微薄的收入束缚

    他们不思进取？

    他们在迷失自我？

    老兄，我看他们才是疯了

    老兄，他们肯定疯了
