歌词:

[English]

[中文]

I don't wanna bet, but my father wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash

我不想赌，但我爸开了张支票，我敢打赌他兑不了现

He's bettin' on the eight-ball landin' in the side wall, cold-blooded killer if you asked

他赌黑八进边袋，要是你问，他就是个冷血杀手

But every night he needs me to land himself a red-three, corner pocket at 12 a.m.

但每晚他都需要我在凌晨十二点，帮他打进红三，落入底袋

Only twelve years old, but I got ahold of a pool stick I was gifted from him

我才十二岁，就握紧了他送我的球杆

My father is a bettin' man

我父亲是个赌徒

But I got myself a steady hand

但我练就了一双稳手

He's sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona

他坐在角落，一手拿着科罗娜

Bettin' that his son 'll win again

赌他的儿子会再次赢下比赛

...

...

Go bet another six-pack

再去赌一打啤酒

Bet I make comeback

赌我能扳回一局

Count on that this table's got a lean

相信我，这张球桌有点倾斜

Won't you to takе me fishin', and I wanna try out for the sevеnth-grade football team

你为什么不带我去钓鱼呢，我还想试试加入七年级的足球队

He'll probably be nothin', but this town's old drunkard 'nd die on a smoke-stained stool

他可能一事无成，最终会成为镇上的老酒鬼，死在烟熏火燎的凳子上

Right now he's got a bargain that he's taken too far on his boys game of nine-ball pool

现在他已经沉迷于这场九球赌局，越陷越深

My father was a bettin' man

我父亲是个赌徒

But I got myself a steady hand

但我练就了一双稳手

He's sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona

他坐在角落，一手拿着科罗娜

Bettin' that his son 'll win again

赌他的儿子会再次赢下比赛

My father was a bettin' man

我父亲是个赌徒

...

...

My father was a bettin' man

我父亲是个赌徒

But I got myself a steady hand

但我练就了一双稳手

He's sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona

他坐在角落，一手拿着科罗娜

Bettin' that his son 'll win again

赌他的儿子会再次赢下比赛

I don't wanna bet, but my daddy wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash

我不想赌，但我爸开了张支票，我敢打赌他兑不了现

He's bettin' on the eight-ball landin' in the side wall, cold-blooded killer if you asked

他赌黑八进边袋，要是你问，他就是个冷血杀手
