Source text in English

I'm gonna make my own way,
I'm gonna head downtown,
Walk around, settle down,
Find me a proper drink.
Don't need a helmet
To get me through life,
I walk across the water,
Blame it on foolish pride.

Lifting me up,
Tearing me down,
All you give me is indecision
the classic run-around.
Bringing me higher,
Keeping me whole,
Now I feel like I'm living
Living in a Dust Bowl.

Od tu grem sam naprej,
sam po cestah, med luči,
naokoli, do konca poti,
poiskal bom dober bar.
Kaj mi bo oklep,
brez se prebijem čez,
spokal bom drugam,
ponos lahko poruši jez.

Pričaraš mi sonce,
sklatiš me v temo,
daješ mi le omahljivost,
begam med srdom in slo.
Poneseš me višje,
k polnosti, blaginji,
zdaj pa mi je, kot bi živel,
živel v viharni pustinji.

Prašna skleda – Joe Bonamassa

Ustvaril bom svojo pot,
odpravil se bom po mestu,
naokoli, se ustavil,
si poiskal pravo pijačo.
Ne potrebujem ščita
za preboj skozi življenje,
hodim po vodi,
kriv za to je neumen ponos.

Dviguje me,
zabije v tla,
daješ mi le neodločnost,
klasična poteza.
Ponese me višje,
ohranja me prisebnega,
Zdaj se počutim kot da živim
živim v prašni skledi.
