Origineel
Well, I thought you’d be back on the track
But I guess I was wrong, man
For the look in your eyes was the same
Empty high that you’d shown
As I ran down the road I’d forgotten this load was upon you
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
It’s been years since I cried
But this feeling inside really hurt me
And you know that we’re loyal
Through the years of hard toil we stood by
But our licks’ gotten better
I thought you could weather the good times
So I guess that it’s hard to leave
Bad times and downers behind
So it came down to sayin’
You haven’t been playin’ for so long
That our heads caked with rust
And the dust of a million sad sighs
In the mornings I’ve tried
To reach down inside
And push that nightmare away
Now I’m glad that it’s over, it’s over
Now I can play
Vertaling
Nou, ik dacht dat je terug op het spoor zou zijn
But I guess I was wrong, man
Want de blik in je ogen was dezelfde
De lege blik die je liet zien
Terwijl ik over de weg liep, was ik vergeten dat deze last op jou rustte
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
Het is jaren geleden dat ik gehuild heb
But this feeling inside really hurt me
And you know that we’re loyal
Through the years of hard toil we stood by
But our licks’ gotten better
Ik dacht dat je de goede tijden kon doorstaan
So I guess that it’s hard to leave
Bad times and downers behind
So it came down to sayin’
Je speelt nog niet zo lang
That our heads caked with rust
En het stof van een miljoen droevige zuchten
In the mornings I’ve tried
Om naar binnen te reiken
En die nachtmerrie weg te duwen
Nu ben ik blij dat het voorbij is, het is voorbij
Nu kan ik spelen
