Kris Kristofferson - Ramblin Jack Lyrics
I got a friend named Ramblin' JackHe's got a face like a tumbled down shackThat's been lived in too long to be torn downHe's high on life and low on luckAnd big on driving diesel trucksAnd knows the boys that built them by the soundMost of his lifetime he's been wastedOn the wine of life he's tastedAnd I guess the rest, Lord, he was stonedAnd he's known to lay his weary headIn some funky, unfamiliar bedsBut he was only looking for a homeChorus:And I know he ain't afraid of where he's goingAnd I'm sure he ain't ashamed of where he's beenHe has paid a little piece of his soulFor every seed that he's been sowingAnd he made his own mistakes, and love, and friendsAin't that what matters in the endSoulful songs and sailing shipsPut a smile upon his lipsEasy as the laughter in his eyesAnd if he knew how good he'd doneEvery song he ever sungI believe he'd truly be surprisedLooking back he's come so farLooking at his lucky starSomewhere, out there, rocking on the roadRisky nights and wasted daysWild and righteous, wicked waysMixing up the music in his soulRepeat ChorusI got a friend named Ramblin' Jack
