Текст песни Could Have Done Better (Charles Ellsworth) с переводом

I heard the fountain of youth

was buried deep in her eyes

so I kept them for myself

swallowed them with my pride

buried them deep and out

her soul came

she was wagging her finger

saying «shame, shame, shame»

I know who you are and I know who you’ve been

you ain’t no better than the worst type of man

get what you want and get the hell out

is there anything left of you?

One day i’ll grow wings and i’ll fly back home

where they serve whiskey in the jar

and the buffalo roam.

For now i’m just off trying to settle the score,

watching my brother go to prison,

dodging a holy war.

Well If i’m wrong I guess that they’re right,

coming for me and i’ll be leaving in the night.

With a notch on my pistol and a man in his grave,

I guess i’ll live to fight one more day.

She was the apple of my eye

in the eye of the storm

and all I could think about was just keeping her warm

deep in the night by the light of her eyes.

Oh I should have tried to forget her,

could have done better by my fellow man

but you never can

go back and change the past

just like you always wanted to.

So you roll up your sleeves and get on with your life,

don’t you look back keep swallowing that pride

tell yourself there’s nothing left for you.

There’s a bad luck wind and it’s been blowing up my way

says it’s here to stay.

She says it’s here to stay.

She’s the devil’s right hand and she’s wrapped around my heart

been there from the start oh she’s been there from the start.

One day i’ll grow wings and i’ll fly back home

where they serve whiskey in the jar

and the buffalo roam.

For now i’m just off trying to settle the score,

watching my brother go to prison,

dodging a holy war.

Well If i’m wrong I guess that they’re right,

coming for me and i’ll be leaving in the night.

With a notch on my pistol and a man in his grave,

I guess i’ll live to fight one more day.

She was the apple of my eye

in the eye of the storm

and all I could think about was just keeping her warm

deep in the night by the light of her eyes.

Oh I should have tried to forget her,

could have done better by my fellow man

but you never can

go back and change the past

just like you always wanted to.

So you roll up your sleeves and get on with your life,

don’t you look back keep swallowing that pride

tell yourself there’s nothing left for you.
