"Damn this sand", sang the rambler. "Damn this hand", sang the gambler. Nobody's satisfied with the road they chose to ride. Oh let it go, roll again.
In the cool of the evening she calls me to dance. My back's about broken from choppin' the plants. My soul is so thirsty I can't sleep at night. She walks in my dreams, brings me delight.
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair. Ruby are you contemplatin' going out somewhere. The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down.
Though they say she's not your kind. If ya love her pay no mind. It is hard, a wise man knows. A rose is a rose is a rose. . From the finest part of town.
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills. Cause there ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on Rocky Top half bear the other part cat.
Rock of ages cleft for me. Let me hide myself in Thee. Let the water and the blood from. Thy wounded side which float. Thee of sin the double cure. Save from raft and make me pure.
Reuben James in my song you'll live again. And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time. For the time when I knew you Reuben James.
If you're all alone and blue no one to tell your troubles to. Remember me cause I'm the one who loves you. If the whole world turned you down and not a true friend can be found.
Oh it don't worked out the way that I planned it's over but it's so hard to understand. So I read the letters that you wrote to me I read 'em and weep read 'em and weep.
Rainbow girl you chase the dark clouds out of my world. You put the sunshine back in its place you put a smile back on my face. Goodbye rain so long pain my skies turn to blue when I found you rainbow girl.
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine. And my tunes were played on the harp, unstrung. Would you hear my voice come through the music?. Would you hold it near as it were your own?.
It's today you say you're leaving, darlin'. Time comes when you must follow your own star. And though my silly mind is sick with fear. In my heart I know that these differences just go to show.
Well, I'm your Ramblin' Man. And I can lift your latch. Well, I could stay here, Mama. But I got me some trains to catch. . When that cold north wind stops blowing.
When you're all alone and blue no one to tell your troubles to. Remember me I'm the one who loves you. When this old world has turned you down not a true friend can be found.
She's fast on my money slow to call me honey but she's regular on my mind. She's fast on the phone mighty slow when we're alone but she's regular on my mind.
With a cloud above her head here comes Rainy Jane. If she stubs you man she'll bore you with her sad refrain. It's the same old story we've heard a thousand times before.
Pretty thing, I've got you. Right where I used to be. We ride across this city. Starting fires recklessly. . And everything is closing. But tonight, we'll stay awhile.
Round and round and everything keeps tumblin' down. Make a sideways move. Till you're standin' at the edge of town. 'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around.
Chris Wall. . Even as she sleeps, she feels his restless turning. As he struggles with an old dream all night long. And when she awakes, she turns to reassure him.
Dave Gilstrap. . Yeah, I work all week just to make a draw,. Sometimes I don't ride 'em at all.. But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train.. When I get down in that chute,.
