"I got these lines in my face trying to straighten out the wrinkles in my life 
       E                                                                      
When I think of all the fools I've been it's a wonder that I've sailed this many

To which Larry Mahan replied 
              A                                                    D 
He said, "The sweet bird of youth Was sittin' on my shoulder yesterday 
          E                                                             D

Staying up all night in the Driscoll Hotel 
A 
Ramblin' Jack and Mahan, was cowboyed all to hell 
D 
And the room smelled like bulls, the words sound like songs 
     E                                                      A 
Now, there's a pair to draw to, boys, I would not steer you wrong  
 
 
Soooo, Ol' Ramblin' Jack said: 
He said, "I recall a time I'd set my soul on fire just for show 
All it ever taught me was the more I learn, the less I seem to know". 
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 'em different if we tried
