Lyrics
You have sailed the sparkling waters
Off the shaded sandy coast of Carolina
From the rock-bound coast of Maine
Down past Virginia 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 St. Paul
To where she flows into the sea
You have seen the early sunlight
Kiss the bluegrass on a cold Kentucky morning
And the Palomino oceans of a 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 a taste for whiskey, women, and the road
And there ain't no ramblers anymore
And you can take that for what it's worth
Seems like everybody's jetting
They ain't got time to touch the earth
I guess their feet don't get to itching
When they hear a whistle blow
They ain't crossed the Chattahoochee
And there ain't no ramblers anymore
You have heard the lonesome rattle
Of a midnight freight train in the easy hours
You've been burned by Arizona suns
Stood shivering in the Minnesota snow
You have smelled the sweet magnolia blossom perfume
In an Alabama evening
And you've stood drunk beside the highway
And wished to hell you still had some place left to go
'Cause there ain't no ramblers anymore
At least not like there used to be
Everybody's on vacation
Or watching something on TV
They ain't ever been to Tucson
Or been in jail in Mexico
They ain't ever going to Boise
'Cause there ain't no ramblers anymore
'Cause there ain't no ramblers anymore
