I met a guy on the red eye
Aku bertemu seorang pria di penerbangan malam.
He spotted my guitar
Dia melihat gitarku
and said what do you do?
dan bertanya, "Apa yang kamu lakukan?"
I said, I sing for a living,
Aku bilang, "Aku bernyanyi untuk hidup,"
Country music mixed with
musik country dicampur dengan
a little rock and a little blues
sedikit rock dan sedikit blues.
He said I'm sorry
Dia bilang, "Maaf,"
but I've never been crazy
“tapi aku tidak pernah suka
'bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing
dengan suara khas itu, kereta, dan hal-hal pedesaan.”
What ever made you want to sing stuff like that?
“Apa yang membuatmu ingin menyanyikan hal seperti itu?”
I just looked at him and laughed and said
Aku hanya menatapnya, tertawa, dan berkata

cause it's songs about me
“karena ini lagu tentang aku”
and who I am
“dan siapa diriku”
songs about loving and living
“lagu tentang cinta dan kehidupan”
and good hearted women and family and God
“dan wanita berhati baik, keluarga, dan Tuhan.”
yeah they're all just
“Ya, semuanya hanya”
songs about me
“lagu tentang aku”
songs about me
“lagu tentang aku.”

So I offered him tickets
Jadi aku tawarkan dia tiket
I said you'll see what I mean
Aku bilang, "Kamu akan mengerti maksudku”
if you show up tonight
“jika kamu datang malam ini.”
he said I doubt you'll change my opinion
Dia bilang, "Aku ragu kamu bisa mengubah pendapatku”
I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try
“Aku akan agak sibuk, tapi hei, aku akan coba.”

Then later on when we finished our songs
Kemudian, setelah kami selesai dengan lagu-lagu kami
about scars and cars and broken hearts
tentang bekas luka, mobil, dan patah hati
I saw him, he was standing there
Aku melihatnya, dia berdiri di sana
right next to the stage
tepat di samping panggung
and he shouted
dan dia berteriak
man you were right
“Bro, kamu benar”
it was like you sang those
“rasanya seperti kamu menyanyikan lagu-lagu itu”

songs about me
“lagu tentang aku”
and who I am
“dan siapa diriku”
songs about loving and living
“lagu tentang cinta dan kehidupan”
and good hearted women and family and God
“dan wanita berhati baik, keluarga, dan Tuhan.”
yeah they're all just
“Ya, semuanya hanya”
songs about me
“lagu tentang aku”
songs about me
“lagu tentang aku.”

So I'll just keep on singing
Jadi aku akan terus bernyanyi
'til I hear the whole world singing those
sampai aku mendengar seluruh dunia menyanyikan lagu-lagu itu

songs about me
“lagu tentang aku”
and who I am
“dan siapa diriku”
songs about loving and living
“lagu tentang cinta dan kehidupan”
and good hearted women and family and God
“dan wanita berhati baik, keluarga, dan Tuhan.”
yeah they're all just
“Ya, semuanya hanya”
songs about me
“lagu tentang aku”
songs about me
“lagu tentang aku.”
