Uap panas naik dari pintu, di jalan tar.
Crawdads kicking in the dirt.
Crawdads menendang di tanah.
Serious cleavage in pink motels.
Pembelahan serius di motel berwarna pink.
(The) preacher’s emptying his bucket.
Pengkotbah mengosongkan embernya.
(Chorus)
(Paduan suara)
Forks in the road
Forks di jalan
Pock marks in starch-white shirts.(2x)
Tanda pock di kemeja putih kanji. (2x)
Carcass rotting in the yard, by the motel.
Karkas membusuk di halaman, di dekat motel.
(The) Bayou’s washed it on the shore.
(The) Bayou mencucinya di pantai.
Maggots turned up butterflies in the deep south.
Belatung muncul kupu-kupu di selatan.
Here I am running from the pulpett.
Ini aku lari dari bubur kertas.
(Chorus repeated endlessly).
(Chorus diulang tanpa henti).
