guy clark - ramblin' jack and mahan lyrics

Loading...

now, a ramblin’ jack elliot said, “i got these lines in my face
tryin’ to straighten out the wrinkles in my life
when i think of all the fools i’ve been
it’s a wonder that i’ve sailed this many miles”

to which larry mahan replied, he said, “the sweet bird of youth
was sittin’ on my shoulder yesterday
but she’s always changin’ partners
and i always knew she’d up and fly away”

let’s stayin’ up all night in the driskill hotel
ramblin’ jack and mahan was cowboyed all to h-ll
and the room smelled like bulls, the words sound like songs
now, there’s a pair to draw to boys, i would not steer you wrong

so, ol’ ramblin’ jack said, he said, “i recall a time
i set my soul on fire just for show
all it ever taught me was
the more i learn the less i seem to know”

ol’ mahan crawled out from behind a couch and said, “jack”
he said, “as far as i can see, mistakes are only horses in disguise
ain’t no need to ride ’em over
’cause we could not ride them different if we tried”

and let’s stayin’ up all night in the driskill hotel
ramblin’ jack and mahan was cowboyed all to h-ll
and the room smelled like bulls, the words sound like songs
now, there’s a pair to draw to boys, i would not steer you wrong, ooh

stayin’ up all night in the driskill hotel, ooh
ramblin’ jack and mahan was cowboyed all to h-ll
and the room smelled like bulls, the words sound like songs
now, there’s a pair to draw to boys, i would not steer you wrong

yes, certainly my fair [incomprehensible], ooh
