Well I quit my job down at the carwash
Nah, gue berhenti dari kerjaan di tempat cuci mobil
I left my mama a goodbye note
Gue ninggalin surat perpisahan buat mama
By sundown I'd left Kingston with my guitar under my coat
Pas matahari terbenam, gue udah cabut dari Kingston bawa gitar di bawah jaket gue
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis got a room at the YMCA
Gue numpang mobil sampe Memphis, nginep di YMCA
For the next three weeks I went a huntin' them night clubs
Selama tiga minggu ke depan, gue nyari-nyari klub malam
Lookin' for a place to play
Nyari tempat buat main musik
Well I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire
Gue kira permainan gitar gue bakal bikin mereka terkesima
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
Tapi gak ada yang mau nyewa gitaris
Well I nearly bout starved to death down in Memphis
Gue hampir mati kelaparan di Memphis
I run out of money and luck
Uang dan keberuntungan gue habis
So I bummed me a ride down to Macon Georgia on a overloaded poultry truck
Akhirnya, gue numpang truk ayam ke Macon, Georgia
I thumbed on down to Panama City started checkin' out some of them all night bars
Gue terus meluncur ke Panama City, mulai ngecek bar-bar yang buka semalaman
Hopin' I can make myself a dollar makin' music on my guitar
Harap-harap bisa dapet duit dari main musik pake gitar gue
Got the same old story at them all night piers
Cerita yang sama di semua bar malam itu
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man we don't need a guitar man son
Gak ada tempat buat gitaris di sini, kami gak butuh gitaris, nak
So I slept in the hobo jungles I bummed a thousand miles of track
Jadi gue tidur di hutan gelandangan, numpang ribuan mil jalur kereta
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama in a club they call Big Jack's
Sampai akhirnya gue nemu diri di Mobile, Alabama, di klub yang disebut Big Jack's
A little four piece band was jammin' so I took my guitar and I sat in
Ada band kecil empat orang yang lagi main, jadi gue ambil gitar dan ikut main
I showed 'em what a band would sound like
Gue tunjukin ke mereka gimana suara sebuah band
With a swingin' little guitar man show 'em son
Dengan gitaris kecil yang asyik, tunjukin ke mereka, nak
[ ac.guitar ]
So if you ever take a trip down to the ocean find yourself down round Mobile
Jadi, kalau lo pernah jalan-jalan ke pantai, sampai di sekitar Mobile
Well make it on out to the club called Jack's if you got a little time to kill
Jangan lupa mampir ke klub yang namanya Jack's kalau lo punya waktu senggang
Just follow that crowd of people you'll wind up out on his dance floor
Ikutin kerumunan orang itu, lo bakal nemu diri di lantai dansanya
Diggin' the finest little five piece group up and down the Gulf of Mexico
Nikmatin grup kecil lima orang yang paling keren di sepanjang Teluk Meksiko
And guess who's leadin' that five piece band
Dan tebak siapa yang memimpin band lima orang itu
Why wouldn't you know it's that swingin' little guitar man yeah
Tentu aja itu gitaris kecil yang asyik, ya kan
