All I'm missing is part of a line in the third verse: "I'm here today and then I'm gone tomorrow/I'm like a packrat in disguise/I leave a song and I take ???? ????/ To spend a night alone beneath the sky." |

06 Sep 09 - 10:08 AM (#2717439) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: No Roots in Ramblin' (Jerry Jeff Walker) From: Beer This a/p says that all songs are by J.J. It does not say songs written by but would believe that they are all his songs. I'm here today and then I'm gone tomorrow, I'm like a pack-rat in disguise. I leave a song and I take you wine true, To spend a night alone beneath the sky. I know this doesn't make sense but that is the best I can figure he is saying. I will get my wife to have a listen and hopefully she will be able to understand what the heck he is saying. Adrien |

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 |
