Ramble Round

In memory of Harry Chapin

Intro

A sudden rain washed the sky one early summer day
Momma wished I wouldn’t go the day I drove away

But I just had to Ramble Round, make new friends and see this land
Guess my momma couldn’t understand, I was going off to be a man

1st Verse

Every cent I had was in the pocket of my jeans
Made a few buck liftin’ bales and pumping gasoline

I drove down the backroads and I roamed from town to town
Made new friends and had my look around

2nd Verse

Stopped at this old diner for a burger and some fries
The waitress she had long blond hair and glad to know ya’ eyes

She said I ain’t seen you around, what brings you to this old town
Guess she must have liked the way it sounds, said she wished that she could Ramble Round

Chorus

And I said come with me and we will see the corners of the world
The other side of rainbows we’ll both share that pot of gold

We’ll find shelter from the rain, share the laughter share the pain
And we’ll find more love everywhere we roam, we’ll put it in a box and take it home

Bridge

She said give me fifteen minutes and I’ll meet you round the back
I need some time to say goodbye, I need some time to pack

I hardly even knew this girl getting in my car
But that old car took us pretty far, you know that old car sure took us pretty far

Verse 3

Well I guess that’s all there is to say, the rest is plain to see
After almost 20 years that girls still here with me

We found shelter from the cold, we both shared that pot of gold
And when we get the urge to go to town, we just turn out the lights and Ramble Round

Chorus

And I said come with me and we will see the corners of the world
The other side of rainbows we’ll both share that pot of gold

We’ll find shelter from the rain, share the laughter share the pain
And we’ll find more love everywhere we roam, we’ll put it in a box and take it home

And we’ll find more love everywhere we roam, we’ll put it in a box and take it home
