Big Ben came in puffin' back in 1963
He knew Denver Pyle and Willie, Big John, The Duke, and me
We played every city on the land and on the sea
He helped me be just what I am and all I wanna be
He never played the guitar, he never played the flute
Had a heart as big as Texas and a country soul to boot
Ben always loved the ladies and his line was smooth as silk
His aphrodisiac was cornbread, ice cold buttermilk
Back then, I did some rollin' 'cause I was slow to learn
Big Ben was always standing by when I would crash and burn
When everything about me was scattered near and far
He'd pack us up, sack us up, and load us in the car
You can find him in the hotels, in the bus, and in the car
You'll swear there's more than one Big Ben
And one more where you are
He's the talk around the campfires and the tale's gettin' mighty tall
Big Ben's a living legend and he will outlive us all
Well, here's to all the roadies
You should know from which you came
All you young road warriors and keepers of the flame
There was one who walked before you
The one who blazed the trail
Here's to the good Ben Dorcy, the one that never failed
He could set 'em up, he could tune 'em up
Break down and drive the car
He did everything we couldn't do, we were busy being stars
And you can find him in the hotels, in the bus, and in the car
You'll swear there's more than one Big Ben
And one more where you are
He's the talk around the campfires and the tale's gettin' mighty tall
Big Ben's a living legend and he will outlive us all
Big Ben's a living legend and he will outlive us all
