Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears

And look at the mess I'm in-

A broken nose and a broken heart

An empty bottle of gin

In my broken down Chevrolet-

While I'm singin' to myself
对自己唱着歌
There's got to be another way

Take away take away

Take away this ball and chain

Well I've searched and I've searched

To find the perfect life-

A brand new car and a brand new suit

You can run all your life
