Ramblin'

 RAMBLIN'

I was sittin' at a fillin' station

in South Missouri,

listenin' to an old Hank Williams tune playin' on the radio. 

While waitin' for my car to be serviced,

I sat rockin' in a springy 1950s lawn chair,

sippin' a cold bottle of Mountain Dew,

thinkin' about your cheatin' heart.

Lube job done,

tank gassed up,

I paid the grease monkey.

Hopped in my '64 Rambler

and drove off down I-44,

still listenin' to Hank

and thinkin' 'bout you,

and wonderin' whether you really were true 

or whether I was just imagin' I loved you.
