Ain’t No Ramblers Anymore
[Verse 1]
You have sailed the sparkling waters
Of the shady sandy coast of Carolina
From the rock bound coast of Maine
Down past Virgina to the sunny Florida keys
You have chased the whistling wind along
The painted canyon walls of Colorado
And you followed that big river from
Saint Paul to where she flows into the sea
You have seen the early sun light kiss
The blue grass on a cold Kentucky morning
And the Palomino oceans of the Kansas
Wheat field when the west wind blows
You've gone gypsy loose and run and
Chased rainbows in the Mississippi sunset
Just a number one hell raiser with the
Taste for whiskey, women and the road
[Chorus]
And there ain't no ramblers anymore
And you can take that for what it's worth
Seems like everybody's jet'n
They ain't got time to touch the earth
I guess their feet don't hit the itching
When they hear the whistle blow
They ain't crossed the Chattahoochee
And there ain't no ramblers anymore
[Verse 2]
You have heard the lonesome rattle of the
Midnight freight train in the easy hours
You've been burned by Arizona sun
Stood shivering in the Minnesota snow
You have smelled the sweet magnolia blossom
Perfume in a Alabama evening
You've stood drunk beside the highway wishing
That hell you still had some place left to go
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Cause there ain't no ramblers anymore
