| [00:21.16] | Feeling like the ace of spades |
| [00:24.85] | Fifteen years old, work till the sun comes |
| [00:28.64] | Then I'm off to school again |
| [00:32.40] | Working my back as a young man |
| [00:35.81] | Taught me I'd rather work my mind |
| [00:39.73] | So we'd cop a little smoke |
| [00:41.95] | And crack a couple jokes |
| [00:44.05] | Just trying to learn to survive |
| [00:49.06] | I wanted to work to live |
| [00:52.67] | No not just live to work |
| [00:57.04] | I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my T-shirt |
| [01:05.03] | Was a young man singin' an old man's song |
| [01:09.05] | Payin' with my last dimes |
| [01:12.99] | But working to live beats living to work |
| [01:16.73] | Anytime |
| [01:36.58] | I had a teacher |
| [01:38.55] | She told my mother that she better find me a trade |
| [01:43.93] | Because boys like me well we all grow up |
| [01:47.60] | To be long term guests of the state |
| [01:52.35] | Now I worked hard because I had to |
| [01:55.13] | I never found much luck |
| [01:59.04] | Till' I built my world |
| [02:01.01] | Round' a Georgia girl |
| [02:03.05] | Who told me that I was enough |
| [02:08.14] | I wanted to work to live |
| [02:10.97] | No not just live to work |
| [02:15.98] | I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my t-shirt |
| [02:23.79] | Was a young man singing an old man's song |
| [02:28.33] | Paying with my last dimes |
| [02:32.21] | But working to live beats living to work |
| [02:36.10] | Anytime |
| [02:55.41] | Sometimes at night I wake with a shiver |
| [02:59.10] | Sweat soaking clean through my sheets |
| [03:02.89] | Then I remember I am who I am |
| [03:06.78] | Not who they said I would be |
| [03:10.58] | And I wasn't born with nothin' |
| [03:14.14] | Cept' a voice and common sense |
| [03:18.35] | Maybe that's why I took off runnin' |
| [03:22.13] | The first chance that I had |
| [03:27.32] | I wanted to work to live |
| [03:29.37] | No not just live to work |
| [03:34.90] | I had a pain deep in my bones beneath my T-shirt |
| [03:42.89] | Was a young man singing an old man's song |
| [03:47.24] | Paying with my last dimes |
| [03:50.92] | But working to live beats living to work |
| [03:54.66] | Anytime |
| [03:58.29] | Oh working to live beats living to work |
| [04:02.12] | Anytime |

| [00:16.63] | 穿着卡哈特夹克 清晨五点半 |
| [00:21.16] | 感觉自己像黑桃A |
| [00:24.85] | 十五岁的年纪 干活到日出 |
| [00:28.64] | 然后又赶去学校上课 |
| [00:32.40] | 少年时卖力干活的日子 |
| [00:35.81] | 教会我宁愿动脑谋生 |
| [00:39.73] | 我们会偷偷抽根烟 |
| [00:41.95] | 再讲几个烂笑话 |
| [00:44.05] | 只为在这世道活下去 |
| [00:49.06] | 我想为生活而工作 |
| [00:52.67] | 不是为工作而活 |
| [00:57.04] | T恤之下 骨子里刻着疼痛 |
| [01:05.03] | 少年唱着沧桑的歌谣 |
| [01:09.05] | 掏空最后几个硬币 |
| [01:12.99] | 但为生而作胜过为作而生 |
| [01:16.73] | 永远如此 |
| [01:36.58] | 有位老师曾对我母亲说 |
| [01:38.55] | 最好让我学门手艺活 |
| [01:43.93] | 因为我们这种男孩长大后 |
| [01:47.60] | 多半会成为监狱常客 |
| [01:52.35] | 我曾拼命工作迫于生计 |
| [01:55.13] | 运气总不眷顾我 |
| [01:59.04] | 直到遇见佐治亚姑娘 |
| [02:01.01] | 她让我相信 |
| [02:03.05] | 我本就足够好 |
| [02:08.14] | 我想为生活而工作 |
| [02:10.97] | 不是为工作而活 |
| [02:15.98] | T恤之下 骨子里刻着疼痛 |
| [02:23.79] | 少年唱着沧桑的歌谣 |
| [02:28.33] | 掏空最后几个硬币 |
| [02:32.21] | 但为生而作胜过为作而生 |
| [02:36.10] | 永远如此 |
| [02:55.41] | 有时深夜惊醒打着寒颤 |
| [02:59.10] | 汗水浸透整张床单 |
| [03:02.89] | 然后想起我活成了自己 |
| [03:06.78] | 不是他们预言的模样 |
| [03:10.58] | 我生来一无所有 |
| [03:14.14] | 只有嗓子和基本理智 |
| [03:18.35] | 所以第一次机会降临时 |
| [03:22.13] | 我头也不回地奔跑 |
| [03:27.32] | 我想为生活而工作 |
| [03:29.37] | 不是为工作而活 |
| [03:34.90] | T恤之下 骨子里刻着疼痛 |
| [03:42.89] | 少年唱着沧桑的歌谣 |
| [03:47.24] | 掏空最后几个硬币 |
| [03:50.92] | 但为生而作胜过为作而生 |
| [03:54.66] | 永远如此 |
| [03:58.29] | 噢 为生而作胜过为作而生 |
| [04:02.12] | 永远如此 |
