My mama always told me
"Son, you'd best go easy down that road"
And she said she was sorry
For all the times she couldn't save my soul
Shoulda listened to her words a little more
Before I packed up and I walked right out that door
Daddy always told me
"Son, you'd better love the best you can"
And "Don't look back and be sorry
These moments won't be comin' 'round again"
But I feel like I could conquer the whole world
When I look up and see those three little girls
But I get lost, I can't find my way
All my pieces glued together for the world to see
Mistakes I've made, consumed by some
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done
Now a preacher man once told me
"Son, I'm not so sure you can be saved"
And he said, "Life is full of choices
And He sees all the bad ones that you've made"
And I said "Yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to Hell
But goddamn all the stories I can tell"
'Cause I'm so lost, I can't find my way
All my pieces glued together for the world to see
Mistakes I've made, consumed by some
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done
So my mama always told me
"Son, you'd best go easy down that road"
My mama always told me
Mi mamá siempre me decía
"Son, you'd best go easy down that road"
"Hijo, más vale que vayas con cuidado por ese camino"
And she said she was sorry
Y ella dijo que lo sentía
For all the times she couldn't save my soul
Por todas las veces que no pudo salvar mi alma
Shoulda listened to her words a little more
Debería haber escuchado sus palabras un poco más
Before I packed up and I walked right out that door
Antes de hacer mis maletas y salir por esa puerta
Daddy always told me
Papá siempre me decía
"Son, you'd better love the best you can"
"Hijo, más vale que ames lo mejor que puedas"
And "Don't look back and be sorry
Y "No mires atrás y te arrepientas
These moments won't be comin' 'round again"
Estos momentos no volverán a suceder"
But I feel like I could conquer the whole world
Pero siento que podría conquistar el mundo entero
When I look up and see those three little girls
Cuando levanto la vista y veo a esas tres niñas pequeñas
But I get lost, I can't find my way
Pero me pierdo, no puedo encontrar mi camino
All my pieces glued together for the world to see
Todas mis piezas pegadas para que el mundo las vea
Mistakes I've made, consumed by some
Los errores que he cometido, consumidos por algunos
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done
Hasta que no queda nada de mí cuando todo está dicho y hecho
Now a preacher man once told me
Ahora un predicador una vez me dijo
"Son, I'm not so sure you can be saved"
"Hijo, no estoy tan seguro de que puedas ser salvado"
And he said, "Life is full of choices
Y él dijo, "La vida está llena de elecciones
And He sees all the bad ones that you've made"
Y Él ve todas las malas que has hecho"
And I said "Yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to Hell
Y yo dije "Sí, tienes razón, probablemente iré al infierno
But goddamn all the stories I can tell"
Pero malditas todas las historias que puedo contar"
'Cause I'm so lost, I can't find my way
Porque estoy tan perdido, no puedo encontrar mi camino
All my pieces glued together for the world to see
Todas mis piezas pegadas para que el mundo las vea
Mistakes I've made, consumed by some
Los errores que he cometido, consumidos por algunos
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done
Hasta que no queda nada de mí cuando todo está dicho y hecho
So my mama always told me
Así que mi mamá siempre me decía
"Son, you'd best go easy down that road"
"Hijo, más vale que vayas con cuidado por ese camino"
