I woke up with a black eye Mouth tastes like mud My head’s spinning like a tornado You can run a car on my blood
Can’t be for certain But I’m pretty sure Hank done it that way I’ve been looking for a ghost in a white hat ‘Cause I’m growing more broke each day
But I’ve got five too many problems Four different reasons I’ve got three dollars left From the pull tabs I played last night And I’ve been known for having A little too much fun yeah that’s why I’m a once in a lifetime Rambling man
When the doctor slapped me He played a train beat on my back I’ve been looking for a highball train ever since I think Pappy Acuff would love that
Can’t be for certain But I’m pretty sure Waylon done it that way “Well outlaw living is hard hoss” Yeah man that’s what he’d say
But I’ve got five too many problems Four different reasons I’ve got three dollars left From the pull tabs I played last night And I’ve been known for having A little too much fun yeah that’s why I’m a once in a lifetime Rambling man
I had a dream last night All my heroes were standing there Was Hoss, Hank, the Possum, and Merle With slicked-back hair
Just kinda stood there Didn’t have too much to say And on his way out Waylon said “Hoss we all had to do it that way”
‘Cause I’ve got five too many problems Four different reasons I’ve got three dollars left From the pull tabs I played last night And I’ve been known for having A little too much fun yeah that’s why I’m a once in a lifetime Rambling man
