I heard you can, can you fly? Ouvi dizer que você pode, você pode voar? Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky Como uma águia caçando do céu I followed with the sideshows to another town I followed with the sideshows to another town Eu segui com os shows para outra cidade And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds E eu encontrei você em um trailer no acampamento You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice Você estava apostando em algum amante, você estava agitando os dados And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice, once or twice And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice, once or twice E eu pensei ter visto você traindo uma ou duas vezes, uma ou duas vezes I heard your bid once or twice I heard your bid once or twice Eu ouvi seu lance uma ou duas vezes Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price Você estava se perguntando se a aposta valeu o preço Pack it in Pack it in Embale-o em I heard you did pack it in I heard you did pack it in Ouvi dizer que você o embalou Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win Foi difícil desistir de uma mão que você sabia que poderia ganhar So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news Então ultimamente você está se escondendo, estava em algum lugar nas notícias And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues E eu ainda estou nessas corridas com meus canhotos de ingressos e meu blues And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine E uma voz chama os números, e às vezes menciona o meu And I feel like I've been working overtime, overtime And I feel like I've been working overtime, overtime E eu sinto que tenho trabalhado horas extras, horas extras I've lost my fire overtime I've lost my fire overtime Eu perdi meu fogo horas extras Always playin' one more hand for one more dime Always playin' one more hand for one more dime Sempre jogando mais uma mão por mais um centavo Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired! Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired! Devagar, estou ficando cansado! Slowin' down Slowin' down Desacelerando And I envy you the valley that you've found And I envy you the valley that you've found E eu invejo o vale que você encontrou 'Cause I'm midway down the midway 'Cause I'm midway down the midway Porque eu estou no meio do caminho Slowin' down, down, down, down Slowin' down, down, down, down Desacelerando, descendo, descendo, descendo
