about

A bounty hunter is someone who works with a bail bondsman to catch criminals who post bail and then run-away (bolt) to avoid punishment. I wrote All on Death Row loosely about a close friend of mine from youth who later pursued bounties in exchange for leniency. All on Death Row is a snapshot of the physical and mental hardships involved in this ‘long way from home’, roaming lifestyle. A lifestyle that eventually contributed to my friend taking his own life.

赏金猎人是一个与保释保证人合作的人，他们通过保释金抓住罪犯，然后逃走以逃避惩罚。《All on Death Row》写的是我年轻时的一个密友，他追求奖金以换取宽大处理。 《All on Death Row》是这种“远离家乡”的漫游生活方式会面对的一些身体和精神上困难的一张快照。这种生活方式最终让我的朋友结束了他的生命。

lyrics

Got us a post and bolt down river
保释后，家伙沿河南下逃走了
On it
明白！

Yeah been a long time
多年了
Roamin’ been a draggin’ me down
我在找人，辗转各地
Killin’ me killin’ me killin’ me
这种生活折磨死人
Roamin’ been a draggin’ me down
我在找人，辗转各地
Been a long time
多年了
Been a draggin’ me down
辗转各地

Yeah gunnin’ down the road
奔波在路上
Gunnin’ for everything
使尽各种手段
Got a problem down the Mississippi River
密西西比河这边出了事
Gonna pay me ta live this way
为拿赏钱追逃犯
But I can’t
但我不愿
Go on livin’ this way
不愿一直这样活着
You know we’re all
我们每个人都在死囚区
Livin’ on death row
都活在死囚区
Hey
嘿

His call, cell or hell
命由他定，回监狱还是见上帝

Cut down Tunica town
在蒂尼卡城我被抓
Cut for chasin’ sin
他们怪罪我到处寻人
Gonna throw ya in the Sugar Ditch Alley boy
他们说把你扔进臭水沟
Sees if you can swim
看你会不会游泳
Bets are in lord
看你自己的运气
Time to sink or swim boy
浮还是沉
You know we’re all
我们每个人都在死囚区
Livin’ on death row
都活在死囚区
Hey
嘿
Yeah, just gonna float to the top boy
恐怕只有你的尸体飘上来，哥们

It’s a long, long way home
回家路千里
It’s a long, long way home
回家路千里
It’s a long, long way home
回家路千里
A long, long way home
回家路千里
It’s a long way home
回家路千里
When you’re goin’ downhill
当你人生不顺时

Gotta cancer
我生不如死
Gotta cancer
我生不如死
Keepin’ me alive
但好歹还活着
Gotta cancer
我生不如死
Gotta cancer
我生不如死
Lord flippin’ dice
生命有如赌博
You know I ain’t
你知道
gonna count my days
我不会坐等死亡
Hey
嘿
Yeah
耶

Nobody cure me
没人能救我
Somebody cure me
谁来救救我
Everybody
我们每个人
livin’ on death row
都活在死囚区
Hey
嘿

Jes scrapin’ off the grime
只想做点儿除暴安良的事
