Ramblin' Jack And Mahan

Old Ramblin' 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 sittin' on my shoulder yesterday But she's always changin' partners, And I always knew she'd up and fly away" Staying up all night in the Driscoll 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 Soooo, Ol' Ramblin' Jack said: He said, "I recall a time I'd set my soul on fire just for show All it ever taught me was the more I learn, the less I seem to know". Mahan crawled out from behind a couch and said: "Jack, 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 'em different if we tried Chorus Chorus
