I got a friend named Ramblin’ Jack
He’s got a face like a tumbled down shack
That’s been lived in too long to be torn down
He’s high on life and low on luck
And big on driving diesel trucks
And knows the boys that built them by the sound
Most of his lifetime he’s been wasted
On the wine of life he’s tasted
And I guess the rest, Lord, he was stoned
And he’s known to lay his weary head
In some funky, unfamiliar beds
But he was only looking for a home
Chorus:
And I know he ain’t afraid of where he’s going
And I’m sure he ain’t ashamed of where he’s been
He has paid a little piece of his soul
For every seed that he’s been sowing
And he made his own mistakes, and love, and friends
Ain’t that what matters in the end
Soulful songs and sailing ships
Put a smile upon his lips
Easy as the laughter in his eyes
And if he knew how good he’d done
Every song he ever sung
I believe he’d truly be surprised
Looking back he’s come so far
Looking at his lucky star
Somewhere, out there, rocking on the road
Risky nights and wasted days
Wild and righteous, wicked ways
Mixing up the music in his soul
Repeat Chorus
I got a friend named Ramblin’ Jack
Kris Kristofferson (born Christopher Kristofferson on June 22, 1936) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor of Swedish descent. Considered one of the pillars of American country music, he has influenced generations of artists with his introspective and poetic songs that explore themes such as rural life, love, loss, and social struggle. After a military career and a brief period of study at Oxford University, Kristofferson moved to Nashville in 1966 to pursue music. He initially worked as a songwriter for other artists before emerging with his debut album "Kristofferson" (1970). His success came with songs like "Me and Bobby McGee", performed by Janis Joplin, and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", which became a country classic. Kristofferson has collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, contributing to defining the outlaw country movement of the 1970s. Besides music, he has acted in numerous films, including "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (1973) and "Blade Runner" (1982). Throughout his career, Kristofferson has won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1970. His songs continue to be loved and performed by artists of diverse generations.
