Rambler Blues
by Topper

Truckin on the highways
Kickin the tires
I am struttin through the hallways
Friendships and desires

Rambler Rambler, Im the rambler man
Blues and bars, call me Hickory Jack
Sitting at the truck stop
Think Ill order the short stack
Put the syrup on top

Leaning to the side
Brakes lock up and I start to slide
Pointing out the window as I spin
Spin out of control
Work the wheel, now we are under
control
control
control

Rambler Rambler, Im the rambler man
Blues and bars, call me Hickory Jack
Sitting at the truck stop
Think Ill order the short stack
Put the syrup on top

Just a loner whispering the blues
Friends come and go
In ones and two's
Hat up high sitting just right
There goes my hat just like a kite.

Rambler Rambler, Im the rambler man
Blues and bars, call me Hickory Jack
Sitting at the truck stop
Think Ill order the short stack
Put the syrup on top
