I was all but 22, I think at the time

那时我大概快22岁了吧，我想。

I'd been out on the road, lonely at night

一直在路上奔波，夜晚总是孤单。

And it'd been a while, so it was on my mind

已经好久没那样了，所以心里一直想着。

Well, I saw him walk in, with his cowboy hat

我看到他走进来，戴着一顶牛仔帽。

And I thought to myself, I could use some of that

我心想，我需要来点那样的感觉。

His boots like glass on a sawdust floor, huh

他的靴子踩在锯末地板上，锃亮得像玻璃，嗯。

Had moves like nothing I'd ever seen before

他的舞步，我从未见过。

So I walked right up, and I pulled him to the side

所以我走上前去，把他拉到一旁。

I handed that man a beer and looked him in the eyes

递给他一杯啤酒，我看着他的眼睛。

And I said, "Baby, I think you're gonna wanna hear this"

我说：“宝贝，我想你会想听听这个。”

Then I told him

"Excuse me

“打扰一下。

You look like you love me

You look like you want me to want you to come on home

And baby, I don't blame you

宝贝，我不怪你。

For looking me up and down across this room

在这房间里上下打量我。

I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave

我喝醉了，也准备走了。

And you look like you love me"

你看上去像是爱上我了。”

Well, I was down at a local beer joint with a few of the guys

那天我和几个哥们儿在当地的啤酒馆里。

When this cute little country girl caught my eye

一个可爱的小村姑吸引了我的目光。

And boy, let me tell you, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen in a pair of boots

天啊，我得告诉你，她是我见过的穿靴子最好看的人。

Well, she walked right up to me, handed me a beer

她走到我面前，递给我一杯啤酒。

Gave me a look like, "Let's get out of here"

And that's when I realized that she was every cowboy's dream come true

• His boots like glass on a sawdust floor, huh

  ➔ 省略 (省略词语)

• Well, I was down at a local beer joint **with a few of the guys**

  ➔ 量词 "a few of"
