He drinks orange juice and vodka
In the basement while she's talking
To someone long distance for hours and hours on end
And as he’s slowly sippin', he thinks about his children
And the heart attacks that youngest daughter's always giving him
He ain’t smoked no marijuana since he got on with the railroad
And he's been on with the railroad for a long and lonesome while
But the day that he retires, he will smoke himself to China
He will leave behind his worries as he races through the sky

The days are dark down in the holler
Waiting for the sun to shine
On the back you have been breaking
Trying to earn peace of mind

She sells Avon to her buddies and saves a little money
On the makeup she's been using to hide away the years
And she sits and watches TV, usually every evening
If there ain't some kind of ballgame that her daughter has to cheer
She sneaks menthols in the morning while her family's still snoring
And as she burns the Eggos, she looks back at her life
That heart she broke in high school, he's singing on the Opry
She wonders what the hell that she was thinking at the time

The days are dark down in the holler
Waiting for the sun to shine
On the back you have been breaking
Trying to earn peace of mind

Their youngest daughter Stella, she's been running with this fella
That he cannot stand the thought of, that he surely does despise
He's told her he best never see the two of them together
But it’s hard to keep an eye on her
When you’re working all the time
There are things he needs to tend to
And the bills the bank keeps sendin'
Lord, the zeros on the end keep pushing further to the right
Like a freight train hauling sorrow and moving ever onward
Through the tunnel of forever to the never ending light


Terjemahan Tyler Childers - Peace of Mind :

Dia minum jus jeruk dan vodka
Di ruang bawah tanah saat dia berbicara
Untuk seseorang jarak jauh selama berjam-jam
Dan ketika dia perlahan-lahan mengendap-endap, dia berpikir tentang anak-anaknya
Dan serangan jantung yang selalu diberikan putri bungsu padanya
Dia tidak merokok ganja sejak dia melanjutkan dengan kereta api
Dan dia sudah berada di jalur kereta api untuk waktu yang lama dan kesepian
Tetapi pada hari dia pensiun, dia akan merokok sendiri ke Cina
Dia akan meninggalkan kekhawatirannya saat dia berlari melalui langit

Hari-hari gelap gulita
Menunggu matahari bersinar
Di belakangmu telah melanggar
Berusaha mendapatkan ketenangan pikiran

Dia menjual Avon pada teman-temannya dan menyimpan sedikit uang
Pada riasan yang dia gunakan untuk menyembunyikan bertahun-tahun
Dan dia duduk dan menonton TV, biasanya setiap malam
Jika tidak ada semacam permainan bola yang harus didukung putrinya
Dia menyelinap mentol di pagi hari sementara keluarganya masih mendengkur
Dan saat dia membakar para Eggos, dia melihat kembali ke kehidupannya
Hatinya hancur di sekolah menengah, dia bernyanyi di Opry
Dia bertanya-tanya apa yang dia pikirkan saat itu

Hari-hari gelap gulita
Menunggu matahari bersinar
Di belakang Anda telah melanggar
Berusaha mendapatkan ketenangan pikiran

Putri bungsu mereka Stella, dia sudah lari dengan teman ini
Bahwa ia tidak tahan dengan pemikiran itu, bahwa ia memang memandang rendah
Dia mengatakan padanya bahwa sebaiknya dia tidak melihat mereka berdua bersama
Tetapi sulit untuk mengawasinya
Saat kau bekerja sepanjang waktu
Ada hal-hal yang perlu dia cenderung
Dan tagihan yang terus dikirim bank
Tuhan, nol di ujung terus mendorong lebih jauh ke kanan
Seperti kereta barang yang mengangkut kesedihan dan bergerak terus maju
Melalui terowongan selamanya ke cahaya yang tidak pernah berakhir
