Origineel
[Verse 1]
Always too much whiskey
Women that I never knew too well
All the things I’ve seen and done
Most of which I’d be ashamed to tell
I don’t know how it started
But that’s what makes a man a man I guess
Now I’m holding onto nothing
Trying to forget the rest
[Chorus]
I’m looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well I’ve found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But the best parts I just threw away
[Verse 2]
Playing the bars playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carrying on living on songs
That my friends wrote for me to sing
[Chorus]
I’m looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces (Pieces of my life)
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well I’ve found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But the best parts I just threw away
[Outro]
All the pieces of my life everywhere (Everywhere)
And the one I miss most of all is you (Is you)
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Always too much whiskey
Women that I never knew too well
Al de dingen die ik heb gezien en gedaan
Waarvan ik het meeste beschaamd zou zijn om te vertellen
Ik weet niet hoe het begon
Maar dat is wat een man een man maakt, denk ik
Nu hou ik me aan niets vast
Ik probeer de rest te vergeten
[refrein]
Ik kijk terug op mijn leven
Om te zien of ik de stukken kan vinden
Ik weet dat sommige gestolen zijn
En sommige zijn gewoon weggewaaid
Well I’ve found the bad parts
Ik heb alle trieste delen gevonden
But the best parts I just threw away
[Verse 2]
Playing the bars playing like a star
Alles om een naam te krijgen
Carrying on living on songs
That my friends wrote for me to sing
[Chorus]
Ik kijk terug op mijn leven
Om te zien of ik de stukjes kan vinden (Pieces of my life)
Ik weet dat sommige gestolen zijn
And some just blew away
Well I’ve found the bad parts
Ik heb alle trieste delen gevonden
But the best parts I just threw away
[Outro]
All the pieces of my life everywhere (Overal)
And the one I miss most of all is you (Is jou)
