[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 gra** on a cold Kentucky morning And the Palomino oceans of the Kansas Wheat field when the west wind blows You're a gypsy, loose and running Chasing 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 get to itching When they hear the whistle blow That 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 and wished To hell you still had some place left to go [Chorus] [Outro] Because there ain't no ramblers anymore
