It's not that the words aren't clear enough; it's just that they make no sense!


NO ROOTS IN RAMBLIN'
As sung by Jerry Jeff Walker on "Vanguard Visionaries" (2007)

Thinkin' lonely thoughts about tomorrow
Like my emptiness today,
And how I know that the blues'll haunt me
Until I die a-ramblin' sets me straight.

I do not doubt that you are really tryin'.
It's just that I must break things down.
I cannot see myself in your shoes.
I've got to go and bring it back around.

I'm here today and then I'm gone tomorrow.
I'm like a packrat in disguise.
I leave a song and I take your wine truth
To spend a night alone beneath the sky.

I'm now alone and I know I need to ramble
'Cause it's the call from deep inside.
Away out there, I'm sure I'm honest,
For it's the strongest friend that I can find.

Thinkin' lonely thoughts about tomorrow,
Like my emptiness today,
And how I know that the blues'll haunt me
Until I die....FADE
