以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I got a job but it ain't nearly enough
我有份工作却杯水车薪
A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck
那辆两万块的皮卡车
Belongs to me and the bank and some funny
属于我和银行 还有个油嘴滑舌的伊朗人
Talkin' man from Iran
在讨价还价
I left the service and got a G I loan
退伍后用军人贷款
I got married bought myself a home
结婚成家买了房子
Now I hang around this one horse town and do
如今困在这穷乡僻壤
The best than I can
勉强维持生计
Gettin' tough
生活愈发艰难
Just my luck
偏偏我运气不佳
I was born in the land of plenty now there
生于富饶之地 如今却
Ain't enough
捉襟见肘
Gettin' cold
世态渐凉
I've been told
人们都说
Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good ol' boy
这年头老实人总吃亏
Been goin' nowhere down a one-way track
沿着单行道走向绝路
I'd kill to leave it but ain't no turnin' back
我拼了命想逃离却无路可退
Got the wife and the kids and what would
有妻儿要养 世人会怎么看我
Everybody say
他们会怎么说
My brother's standin' on a welfare line
我兄弟正站在救济队伍里
And any minute now I might get mine
随时可能轮到我自己
Meanwhile it's the I R S and the devil to pay

Gettin' tough
生活愈发艰难

I hit the beer joints every Friday night
每周五夜泡在小酒馆
Spend a little money lookin' for a fight
花点小钱寻衅滋事
It don't matter if I lose or win
输赢对我都无所谓
'Cause Monday I'm back on the losin' end again
反正周一又得面对失败人生
Gettin' tough
生活愈发艰难
