Lyrics by：Levi Stoker
Composed by：Levi Stoker
Produced by：Levi Stoker
The bank man came with a fountain pen
银行职员手持钢笔而来
And a smile made of ice
笑容如冰霜般冷冽
Said son this land's been bled dry
他说孩子 这片土地已被榨干
And we've come to collect the price
现在我们来收取代价
But my granddaddy's sweat is the salt
祖父的汗水早已凝结成盐
In the red clay floor
渗入这赤红黏土之中
And they'll have to drag my shadow
除非拖走我的身影
Through that busted up screen door
穿过那扇破损不堪的纱门
I've got a pocket full of nothing
我的口袋空空如也
And a heart like a rusty chain
一颗心如锈蚀的铁链
Just waiting on the thunder
只待雷声轰鸣
And the mercy of the rain
等待雨水的怜悯
You can't pull a man down
你无法将一个人击垮
When he's already on his knees
当他已然屈膝在地
Working for the harvest
只为收获辛勤劳作
While he's howling at the breeze
当他对着微风长嚎
The wind might break the branches
狂风或能折断枝桠
But the spirit won't be hurt
但灵魂永不受伤
As long as I've got these callous hands
只要我仍握这双粗粝的手
And roots in the dirt
深扎尘泥之中
There's a bottle on the table
桌上有瓶烈酒
And a Bible on the shelf
书架搁着圣经
One's for the devil
烈酒属于恶魔
And the other's for my better self
而另一份留给更好的自己
The coal mines took my brother
煤矿吞噬了我的兄弟
And the winter took the grain
寒冬带走了所有谷物
But the scars upon my knuckles
但我指节上的累累伤痕
Are the road map of my pain
是我痛苦的路线图
I'm a stubborn piece of timber
我是一块倔强的木头
That the fire couldn't burn
烈火也无法将它烧毁
I've lived through every lesson
我已历经所有教训
That the hard way had to learn
艰难的道路必须亲身经历
You can't pull a man down
你无法将一个人击垮
When he's already on his knees
当他已然屈膝在地
Working for the harvest
只为收获辛勤劳作
While he's howling at the breeze
当他对着微风长嚎
The wind might break the branches
狂风或能折断枝桠
But the spirit won't be hurt
但灵魂永不受伤
As long as I've got these callous hands
只要我仍握这双粗粝的手
And roots in the dirt
深扎尘泥之中
It's a long way to the bottom
通往底部的路还很漫长
But it's a longer way to climb
但攀登的路更加遥远
I'm trading in my teardrops
我愿用所有泪水交换
For a nickel and a dime
只为那五分和一角硬币
Let the storm clouds gather
任由风暴云层聚集
Let the lightning strike the ground
任由闪电击中大地
I'm buried deep in justice
我深陷正义之中
And I ain't ever coming down
我绝不会倒下
Yeah the roots go deep
根系深深蔓延
Under the highway under the breeze
在高架桥下，在微风中
They can't kill what they can't see
他们看不见的，便无法将其摧毁
Roots in the dirt just leave them be
根深泥土，任其自在生长
