The Last Of The Drifters

[Verse 1] I'm the last of the babies of the World War 2 World War 2 and that's the one we didn't lose, I heard that I was raised on biscuits, Spam and powdered eggs DiMaggio's baseball and Marilyn's legs [Chorus] And I'm the last of the drifters Last of the drifters, yeah [Verse 2] I remember when the great train, they used to run on coal And they would run on coal and I would be ready to go, me too Old white shirt and a tired overall Sometime I think my daddy knew it all [Chorus] [Verse 3] I remember Louisiana in a hot steamy night Hot steamy night and she was holding me tight An old red Chevy with a big back seat I had me some two tall shoes off my feet [Chorus] [Verse 4] I'm a world war baby holding mama's hand Mama's hand and how my daddy knew the land Truck bearing music and poverty and wealth I got some great big scars on myself [Chorus] [Verse 5] I'm the last tie roller with the last good hand Last good hand and I'm a gambling man All them bombs and people waking on that boom Sometimes I reckon I got here too soon [Chorus] [x2]
