Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way,
坐在浩渺星空下
And listen while the coyotes howl.
在郊狼的嚎叫时静静聆听
And they go... hoo yip hoo yip hoo
叫声就好像是 “Whoo, yip, whoo, yip, whoo
hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
Whoo, du, yip, whoo, yip, whoo, whoo”
hoo yip hoo yip hoo
“Whoo, yip, whoo, yip, whoo

Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men,

And he cursed the automobile,
然后他就会开始咒骂机动车
Said this is no place for an hombre like I am,
说着，“在这片由铁与沥青铸就的新世界里，
In this new world of asphalt and steel.
像我这样的人已经无处可依了“
Then he'd look off some place in the distance,
接着他会开始眺望着远方
At something only he could see,
目光落在只有他才能看见的地方
He'd say all that's left now of the old days,
低声说现在他所剩有的的只有过去的日子
Those damned old coyotes and me.

And they go hoo yip hoo yip hoo
