Ramblin' Jack And Mahan

Ramblin' Jack And Mahan

(альбом: Boats To Build - 1992)

Now, a rambling Jack Elliot said, "I got these lines in my face
Trying 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 sitting on my shoulder yesterday
But she's always changing partners
And I always knew she'd up and fly away"

Let's staying up all night in the Driskill Hotel
Rambling 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' rambling 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 staying up all night in the Driskill Hotel
Rambling 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

Staying up all night in the Driskill Hotel, ooh
Rambling 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 [?], ooh
