Now a Ramblin' Jack Elliot said: 
I got these lines in my face 
Tryin' 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" 

[Chorus]
Stayin' up all night 
In the Driskill Hotel 
Ramblin' Jack and Mahan 
Was cowboy'd all to hell 
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 

So ol' Ramblin' Jack said: 
He said, "I recall a time 
I set my soul on fire just for show 
All it ever taught me was 
The more I learn the less I seem to know" 

Ol' 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 them different if we tried 

[Chorus]
