Ramblin Jack

Kris Kristofferson

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1 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 verse 2 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 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’s made his own mistakes and love and friends N.C.                             Ain’t that what matters in the end INTERLUDE        verse 3 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 verse 4 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 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’s made his own mistakes and love and friends N.C.                             Ain’t that what matters in the end OUTRO      I got a friend named Ramblin’ Jack

La chanson évoque un ami nommé Ramblin’ Jack, qui mène une vie pleine d'aventures et de liberté. Bien qu’il ait connu des moments difficiles et des déboires, il est toujours porté par une énergie positive et une quête de bonheur. Jack est un homme qui a appris à naviguer à travers ses erreurs, cherchant un endroit qu'il peut appeler « chez lui » tout en gardant une insouciance joyeuse. À travers ses expériences, il a cultivé des souvenirs précieux, et au fond, c'est cette route semée d’embûches et de rires qui donne du sens à sa vie. La chanson s’inscrit dans un contexte de musique folk et de récits de voyage, typiques de l American way of life, où la quête d'identité et d'appartenance résonne profondément. Elle nous rappelle l'importance des relations humaines et des expériences vécues au fil du chemin.
