    Daddy Was A Rambler

    Daddy Was A Rambler
    Daddy was a rambler and an engineer
    Riding the the tracks both far and near
    Walking on down that glory road
    Like a rambling Charlie Chaplin with tales untold
    Daddy was a rambler and an engineer
    Not a son of a doctor or a rich lawyer
    He love the ladies and he loved his wife
    He loved me enough to give me life
    Daddy was a rambler and an engineer
    Living his life, his joys, his tears
    I don't worry about daddy, he done nothing to forgive
    because of his free rambling, today I live
    Daddy was a rambler and an engineer
    When a train rolls by, my heart holds him dear
    I see him as light without any dark
    I don't live my life with a question mark
    Daddy was a rambler born of engineer's stock
    We are all chips off of a loving God's block
    I am free and so was he
    Riding that freight through to glory
    Dennis Kline 2013 (from "Time Machine" 2013)
