After All They Used to Belong to Me

Hank Williams, Jr.

Transposer:

I guess I'll get a cab and go by my house today Though I can't visit her or my son I'm supposed to stay away But it won't hurt to bring back old memories Cause after all they used to all belong to me Now there's our car the one that I'm still paying for And in the front yard Lord I see my little boy And there's his mother I hope she's doing fine Oh Lord I'd give anything if they were all still mine But they're not and I'm the one to blame I should have known I'd never win when I played that cheating game This other man holds my life and my son calls him daddy tonight But how can I complain cause after all they used to all belong to me How can I complain cause after all they used to all belong to me

Cette chanson évoque un homme qui, bien qu'il ne puisse plus rendre visite à sa famille, se remémore avec nostalgie des moments passés. Il se trouve dans un taxi, se dirigeant vers son ancienne maison, tout en sachant qu'il a perdu sa femme et son enfant, désormais sous la garde d'un autre homme. Ses souvenirs sont remplis de regrets, car il réalise que c'est de sa faute si leur vie a pris une autre direction. Malgré les circonstances, il admet ne pas vouloir se plaindre, car il reconnaît que ces souvenirs lui appartiennent encore.
