Story Behind the Song
Rambler's Ballad. About the desire to be moving and the sorrow that life brings.
Lyrics
Well pour us that single malt whiskey I'm ready to blow,
If I drink enough then I'll tell you what you'd like to know.
Cause living this life is not easy,
and folks often tell you your wrong.
So pour us that last glass of whiskey and then I'll be gone.
Well I'm a rambling man and I do what I can to get by.
From L.A. to Moline I'll make it on whiskey and rye,
Though sometimes I'll find myself lonely,
I'll just find a way to get free.
So babe, it's not your love it's only how I'm meant to be.
Chorus
this highwater whiskey,
won't you pour me a glass
this highwater whiskey
someday soon this must all pass away
that's what they say.
And one of these days I might get round to writing your song,
then come hell or highwater I'm hoping that you'll sing a long,
Cause I'm leavin for memphis this morning,
Hoping to find you at home.
So lady if you've ever loved me then answer your door.
Chorus
