23 TRADUÇÃO - Chayce Beckham (Impressão)

23

Simple as my mama said when I was very young

She told me: Not to worry son, one day, you'll be someone

But here I am at 21 as loaded as a stagecoach shotgun

I'm sorry, Mama, please don't look at me

When I got to Oklahoma, I was 17

My papa taught me how to work and Lord, he was mean

Working all day in that August heat

And he taught me how to fish, my uncle taught me how to drink

Well, I went to California and I had me a band

And we played in all the bars in all the southern lands

We played all night, and we drank for free

All of my boys and me

Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me

Soon, I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more

I know I shoulda taken it slow, it's not the way that my life goes

Now I know

When you're passed out on the floor

You're sober by 24

Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time

And I'd drink my whiskey, and she'd drink wine

But soon my bottle was too much to comfort me

Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all day

And we'd drive across the country, let the radio play

Seven damn years, I never thought she'd leave

Now I'm 23 and there ain't nobody who can drink like me

Soon, I'll be 24 and the Lord knows that I can't drink no more

I know I shoulda taken it slow, it's not the way that my life goes

Lord, I know

When you're passed out on the floor

You're sober by 24

Simple as my mama said when I was very young

She told me: Not to worry son, one day, you'll be someone

But here I am at 21 as loaded as a stagecoach shotgun

I'm sorry, Mama, please don't look at me

23

Simples como minha mãe disse quando eu era bem pequeno

Ela me falou: Não se preocupe, filho, um dia você vai ser alguém

Mas aqui estou eu aos 21, tão chapado quanto uma espingarda de diligência

Desculpa, mãe, por favor, não olhe pra mim

Quando cheguei em Oklahoma, eu tinha 17

Meu pai me ensinou a trabalhar e, meu Deus, ele era duro

Trabalhando o dia todo naquele calor de agosto

E ele me ensinou a pescar, meu tio me ensinou a beber

Bom, eu fui pra Califórnia e montei uma banda

E tocamos em todos os bares de todas as terras do sul

Tocamos a noite toda, e bebemos de graça

Todos os meus amigos e eu

Agora eu tenho 23 e não tem ninguém que beba como eu

Logo, vou fazer 24 e o Senhor sabe que não consigo mais beber

Eu sei que deveria ter ido devagar, não é assim que a minha vida vai

Agora eu sei

Quando você tá desmaiado no chão

Você tá sóbrio aos 24

Bom, eu tive uma garota que me amou o tempo todo

E eu bebia meu uísque, e ela bebia vinho

Mas logo minha garrafa era demais pra me confortar

É, a gente sentava na beira do rio e pescava o dia todo

E atravessávamos o país, deixando o rádio tocar

Sete malditos anos, nunca pensei que ela fosse embora
