Ramblin' Jack and Mahan

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 hell

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 hell

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 hell

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
