Lies Don't Mean Nothin' To A Rambler
Audio track from my performance on Bright House Cable's Coffee House Sessions, December 20th, 2009.
Lies Don’t Mean Nothin’ To A Rambler
Lies don’t mean nothin’ to a gambler
When he’s tryin’ to stay afloat with a bad hand.
He’ll bluff you if he’s able, and cheat you if he can.
And look you in the eye and call you friend.
And lies don’t mean nothin’ to a rambler
You’ll never see again…
Lies don’t mean nothin’ to a preacher
When he’s passing the collection plate around.
He’ll wield the name of Jesus like an outlaw with a gun.
Hold up your hands to heaven while he’s shakin’ you down.
And lies don’t mean nothin’ to a rambler
When it’s time to get out of town…
Lies don’t mean nothin’ to a lover.
‘Cause a lover’s just got one thing on his mind.
He’ll tell you what you want to hear, and then be on his way.
And leave a little note on your window blind.
And lies don’t mean nothin’ to a rambler,
But you knew that last night…
Lies don’t mean nothin’ to a rambler
‘Cause a rambler never sticks around for long.
There’s always one more chance, and always one more town.
And someone new who hasn’t heard his songs.
And lies don’t mean nothin’ to a man
Who’s already gone.
Now don’t go lookin’ for that rambler,
‘Cause he’s already gone…
