Ripplin' and Wild

Well I been high ridin'
 Steady side windin'
 I placed on a game made to lose
 And I fill up my cup
 When enough ain't enough
 And I lay down wherever I choose
 Well the life of a rambler
 Is matched by the gambler
 I'm reelin' straight out of my mind
 Well I just don't feel right
 Underneath all these lights
 So I hide in the pleasures I find
 So it's two fingers whiskey
 Don't mind if it's chintzy
 Ash in an old buckskin can
 I'm waitin' out back
 For the fear to attack
 And I shake like a leaf where I stand
 The life of a drinker
 Ain't one of a thinker
 I'm reelin' straight out of my mind
 I'm the son of a child
 And I'm ripplin' and wild
 And I hide in the pleasures I find
 Well out on the highway
 The moonlight is racin'
 And the tail lights they all look like stars
 So I follow that white line
 Til I hit the sunshine
 And I dodge all them slow moving cars
 Well the engine is steamin'
 Awake, but I'm dreamin'
 I'm reelin' straight out of my mind
 I'll keep the wheels down
 Til I hit the next town
 Just to hide in the pleasures I'd find
 Well the cool running waters
 They flow down the mountains
 And into the valleys they sing
 In the smoky old motels
 And burnt out saloons
 My poor heart it bellows and rings
 Well I long for those things
 That my life will not bring
 I'm reelin' straight out of my mind
 I'm the son of a child
 And I'm ripplin' and wild
 And I hide in the pleasures I find
 I'm the son of a child
 And I'm ripplin' and wild
 And I hide in the pleasures I find
