Thinking about my cousin,
Berpikir tentang sepupu saya,
What it was that did him in.
Apa itu yang membuatnya masuk
Could it have been that whiskey,
Mungkinkah wiski itu,
Rotgut, bootleg, bathtub gin?
Rotgut, bajakan, bak mandi gin?
It's like it took a lot of liquor
Ini seperti butuh banyak minuman keras
Just to let him live in his own skin.
Hanya untuk membiarkan dia hidup di kulitnya sendiri.

Back in Raleigh, North Carolina,
Kembali di Raleigh, North Carolina,
You got to ride it on back
Anda harus mengendarainya kembali
In Raleigh, North Carolina.
Di Raleigh, North Carolina.

The ship set down on the shore
Kapal itu terbenam di pantai
Of this uncharted desert island,
Dari pulau terpencil yang belum dipetakan ini,
Me and my people fanned out,
Saya dan orang-orang saya menyebar,
I guess we settled down a little while.
Kurasa kita tenang sebentar.
Ah, but the devil came with the dark days
Ah, tapi iblis datang dengan hari-hari yang gelap
Of winter, man, the children ran wild.
Dari musim dingin, man, anak-anak berlari liar.

I used to know why, no, I don't know why anymore.
Dulu saya tahu kenapa, tidak, saya tidak tahu kenapa lagi.
I used to know why, no, I don't know why no more.
Dulu saya tahu kenapa, tidak, saya tidak tahu mengapa tidak lebih.

I get to wonder at the Kundalini thunder,
Aku bisa bertanya-tanya pada guntur Kundalini,
Down under my floor.
Turun di bawah lantai saya.

You got to ride it on back,
Anda harus mengendarainya kembali,
Take me back.
Bawa aku kembali.
Back in Raleigh, North Carolina, yeah,
Kembali di Raleigh, North Carolina, ya,
Do you wanna go?
Apakah Anda ingin pergi?
Way back in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Jalan kembali di Raleigh, North Carolina.
