Ramblin' Man 03:16
written by Hank Williams i can settle dow-own and be doin' just fine til I hear an old train rollin' down the line then I hurry strai-aight home and pack and if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack i love you ba-aby, but you gotta understand when the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man some folks might sa-ay that I'm no good that I wouldn't settle down if I could but when that open ro-oad starts to callin' me there's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see sometimes it's har-ard but you gotta understand when the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man i love to see the tow-owns passin' by and to ride these rails 'neath god's blue sky let me travel this la-and from the mountains to the sea 'cause that's the life I believe he meant for me and when I'm go-one and at my grave you stand just say God's called home your ra-amblin' man

fumbling for my wallet to pay for my espresso wrinkles on my knuckles, they’re new to me starting to see grey hairs afar in the mirror looks like life is catching up, looks like life is catching up she doesn’t know me, but she told me she’s written a book she doesn’t know me, but she told me self-published on Amazon she doesn’t know me, but she told me she’s written a book she’s written a book i smoked weed last night for the first time in a while the only way to listen to the new Del Rey i no longer feel no more peaceful, anxiety takes center stage self-reflection in Yakima, convinced i don’t have my legs self-reflection in Yakima self-reflection in Yakima there was a tile on the bathroom floor that i convinced myself was the grim reaper when you don’t have time for making friend you don’t have time to keep one either, either i’m good at avoiding what’s bad for me but one taste and i’m all the way in, touching death when my circuits aren’t so connected as they are when i’m sober i was reading Annie Dillard to replay the solar eclipse prism in the shadows on the pavement from the leaves this clown she sees in a hotel, self-reflection in Yakima looks like life is catching up feel dumb like so many other people, but i love everyone all the same hot-head so traumatized, convince myself i don't have a gift on the wrong track, i hate myself i smoked weed last night for the first time in a while the only way to listen to the new Del Rey i no longer feel no more peaceful, anxiety takes center stage self-reflection in Yakima, convinced i don’t have my legs self-reflection in Yakima self-reflection in Yakima there was a tile on the bathroom floor that i convinced myself was the grim reaper when you don’t have time for making friend you don’t have time to keep one either, either i’m good at avoiding what’s bad for me but one taste and i’m all the way in, touching death when my circuits aren’t so connected as they are when i’m sober let it be, let it be, i say it’ll go on anyway let it be, let it be, its the only way seems things easily slip away, whether here or in the now or in my favorite things, can’t keep up with the pop cult it goes by faster than my shifts than my grip on the things that make me give a shit like this house, the cats, the dog, my love, my friends who i’m used to not giving enough let it be, let it be, i say it’ll go on anyway it’s the same as you--- ---for the first time in a while the only way to listen to the new Del Rey i no longer feel no more peaceful, anxiety takes center stage self-reflection in Yakima, convinced i don’t have my legs self-reflection in Yakima self-reflection in Yakima the only way to listen to the new Del Rey i no longer feel no more peaceful, anxiety takes center stage self-reflection in Yakima, convinced i don’t have my legs self-reflection in Yakima self-reflection in Yakima

written by Daniel Johnston listen up and I'll tell a story about an artist growing old some would try for fame and glory others aren't so bold everyone and friends and family saying, "hey, get a job why do you only do that only? why are you so odd?" "we don't really like what you do we don't think anyone ever will it's a problem that you have and this problem's made you ill" listen up and I'll tell a story about an artist growing old some would try for fame and glory others aren't so bold the artist walks alone someone says behind his back "he's got his gall to call himself that he doesn't even know where he's at" the artist walks among the flowers appreciating the sun he does this all his waking hours but is it really so wrong they sit in front of their TVs saying, "hey, this is fun" and they laugh at the artist saying, "he doesn't know how to have fun" the best things in life are truly free singing birds and laughing bees you got me wrong says he the sun don't shine in your TV listen up and I'll tell a story about an artist growing old some would try for fame and glory others aren't so bold everyone and friends and family saying, "hey, get a job why do you only do that only? why are you so odd?" "we don't really like what you do we don't think anyone ever will it's a problem that you have and this problem's made you ill" listen up and I'll tell a story about an artist growin' old some would try for fame and glory others just like to watch the world

the flower was in a shade the other, though, decided to roll Pennywise in the drain on the way back home some kind of radiant and wonderful heaven some kind of out of this world you make all the girls light up when you go home, it’s a man down when you go home, it’s a man down stone cold, but that’s okay how else to stay cool in a world in flames on the way back home some kind of radiant and wonderful heaven some kind of out of this world you make all the girls light up when you go home, it’s a man down when you go home, it’s a man down

written by J. Primrose(?) folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary, see my baby there; she's stretched out on a long, white table, she's so sweet, so cold, so fair let her go, let her go, god bless her, wherever she may be, she will search this wide world over, but she'll never find another sweet man like me now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches, put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat, put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain, so you can let all the boys know I died standing pat an' give me six crap shooting pall bearers, let a chorus girl sing me a song. put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head so we can raise Hallelujah as we go along folks, now that you have heard my story, say, boy, hand me over another shot of that booze; of anyone should ask you, tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues
