The Ballad of Bull Ramos Lyrics
Drive a great big truck
When I’m old, when I’m old
Haul the wrecks down to the wreckyard
Help the boys unload
Keep my hair nice and long
Because I can, because I can
Any of my old friends who have no place to turn to
They know to call me any time they come through
Never die, never die
Stand with a bullwhip in my hand
And rise, rise
In the desert sand
Work days, work nights
Finally get laid up
By a piece of broken glass
On the floor of the shop
And the doctor recognizes me
As the operating theater grows dim
Aren't you that old wrestler with the bullwhip
Yes sir, that’s me, I’m him
Get around fine on one leg
Lose a kidney, then go blind
Sit on my porch in Houston
Let the good times dance across my mind
Never die, never die
Stand with a bullwhip in my hand
And rise, rise
Surrounded by friends
When I’m old, when I’m old
Haul the wrecks down to the wreckyard
Help the boys unload
Because I can, because I can
Any of my old friends who have no place to turn to
They know to call me any time they come through
Stand with a bullwhip in my hand
And rise, rise
In the desert sand
Finally get laid up
By a piece of broken glass
On the floor of the shop
As the operating theater grows dim
Aren't you that old wrestler with the bullwhip
Yes sir, that’s me, I’m him
Lose a kidney, then go blind
Sit on my porch in Houston
Let the good times dance across my mind
Stand with a bullwhip in my hand
And rise, rise
Surrounded by friends
