Ramblin' Man Lyrics


[Chorus]
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41.

[Chorus]

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

[Chorus]

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Ramblin' Man Song Chart
  • This is based on a 1951 Hank Williams song of the same title. It's about a guy whose travels take him to many places, and he takes life as it comes.
  • Allmans guitarist Dickey Betts wrote this in the house the band shared in Macon, Georgia. Betts sang lead on this track.
  • This was The Allman's first top 10 hit. The song came out after the death of guitarist and driving force Duane Allman. Although the band lost a major part of their sound, they showed they could still be successful without Duane. (thanks, Dee - Northfield, IL)
  • The original working title of the song was "Ramblin' Country Man." A heretofore unknown third verse was sung by Dickey Betts on his Instant Live CD released in 2004. (thanks, Dave - Madison, WI)
  • The band played this on the premiere of an ABC show called In Concert. It was their first national TV appearance, and also Berry Oakley's last performance, as the bass player died in a motorcycle accident a week later. The show aired after his death and was dedicated to him.
  • This was the last song Oakley recorded. He died in a motorcycle accident on November 11, 1972.
  • This was kept out of the #1 spot by Cher's "Half Breed." Gregg Allman married Cher in 1975.

  • This song was referenced in the Nickelodeon Cartoon Hey Arnold! briefly and not by title, but by lyric. In the episode "The Journal," when discussion of the title Character's birth springs up, his grandmother responds, "I Thought he was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus going down highway 41."

    Jessica Lyrics


    Jessica Song Chart
  • Jessica is the name of guitarist Dickey Betts' daughter. He was working on this song when she crawled into the room and inspired him. Jessica Betts was born May 14, 1972 - she was one year old when her dad wrote the song.
  • Betts had Jessica with Sandy Bluesky, who also inspired one of his famous Allman Borthers songs: he wrote "Blue Sky" for her. The couple were married in 1973.
  • This is an instrumental song that had little chart success, but has endured as a staple of classic rock radio and a favorite among fans.
  • This is the theme song to the UK TV show Top Gear.
  • Chuck Leavell played piano on this. He was brought in after Duane Allman died to provide another lead instrument. It created a different sound, as the Allmans now had 1 piano and 1 guitar rather than 2 guitars.
  • Betts was trying to compose a song that could be played on the guitar with two fingers in the style of Django Reinhardt, a 1930s Jazz musician Betts admired who lost two fingers in a fire.
  • The Allman Brothers performed this on The Late Show with David Letterman on February 29, 1996.
  • A live recording was included on the album An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: 2nd Set in 1995. This version won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
  • When we spoke with Devon Allman , he offered some insight on why songs like this don't need lyrics. "'Flor D'Luna' by Santana, 'Jessica' by the Allman Brothers - these songs don't need words because that lead guitar is doing the talking and the singing. It's a strong enough melody to stand on its own. Words over that wouldn't make sense because it's already doing the speaking."

    Hard Times Lyrics


    Feeling low
    Going down slow
    Make you quake
    Make a body shake
    Trying to hold you down
    They can't push you around
    They try to hold you back
    Getting on the right track

    Hard times
    Blue and sad
    Don't you cross the line
    Run, run make it fun
    Freeing up the time

    Hidey plumping
    Feet are jumping
    This heart a loving
    Keeps me running
    They try to hold you down
    But they can't push you around
    Trying to hold you back
    Getting on the right track

    Hard times
    Blue and sad
    Don't you cross the line
    Run, run make it fun
    Freeing up the time
    Hard times
    Get on top
    Follow me down the line
    Hard times
    Get online
    Make a grown man blind

    Hard times, these hard times
    Sure ain't been good to me
    Hard times, hard times
    Sure been misery

    Hard times
    Blue and sad
    Don't you cross the line
    Run, run make it fun
    Freeing up the time
    Hard times
    Get on time
    Follow me down the line
    Hard times
    Get online
    Make a grown man blind

    Little Toy Guns Lyrics


    Little Toy Guns Song Chart
  • Carrie Underwood co-wrote this song with Chris DeStefano ("Good Girl," "Something in the Water") and Hillary Lindsey ("Jesus, Take The Wheel," "Last Name," "Two Black Cadillacs.") The tune is about the effect that parents' falling out has on their children.

    "There's these characters in the song and there's a little girl and she hears her parents fighting, as unfortunately a lot of kids do," Underwood explained to Country Vibe . "So it's basically her saying, in her words, 'I wish their words weren't real. I wish they were like little toy guns and they didn't hurt you.'"
  • Underwood penned the lyrics from her personal observations. "I've seen it first hand from different people in my life and seen how the tumultuous parental relationship between each other can affect a child," she said. "So that's kind of what it's about, but it's a really tempo-driven song as well, so it's kind of a bit of a juxtaposition as far as the story content and the music… It sounds rockin', but it has a positive message."
  • Underwood spoke about the song during an interview with Chicago's US99.5. "It's about words," she explained. "It's about a child hearing her parents fighting. Even at a young age she realizes how much they hurt. And she wishes they were plastic and fake, like toys, and they didn't actually cause any damage."
  • The song's music video was directed by P.R. Brown, who previously collaborated with Underwood on her "Two Black Cadillacs" clip. It stars Grace Rundhaug, who played Marta alongside Underwood in 2014's The Sound of Music Live! television special

    Brown pitched to Underwood the concept of a storybook land-themed visual where the young girl could be the hero, an idea which the songstress loved. Underwood then suggested Grace Rundhaug for the part of the girl. "Whenever I thought of the types of things I wanted to see in this video, I just saw her face," she stated.
  • The song developed from a basic form that Chris DeStefano brought into the writing session with Carrie Underwood and Hillary Lindsey. "I had this musical idea - the track, basically," he recalled to Taste of Country . "I kinda brought that in, and I might have even had some of the parts kinda moved around. I remember playing it for Carrie and Hillary, and they both really reacted to it. I remember Hillary saying, 'I love that riff that you're doing in the verse there, you should move that to the main intro riff, that would be awesome.'"

    Lindsey also suggested a title, "Wooden Guns." "We kinda talked about what it could mean, and we kept throwing ideas out," DeStefano remembered. "And Carrie said, 'What if we called it 'Little Toy Guns'? And it just took it to a different level, I think, when we hit that. It felt right, and once we had that direction, we had more than enough to hang the song on."

    Stand Back Lyrics


    I recall once upon a time,
    Livin was so easy and I felt so fine.
    But, my, my, my right before my very eyes,
    Satan came with fire to burn me,
    Wouldn't listen when they warned me.
    A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey,
    Wouldn't stand back, for neither love nor money.

    Thirty minutes after my ship set sail,
    She put up a sign and my house began to wail.
    But, why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?
    She had such a way to fool me, Lord she had a way to fool me.
    And I would ask the woman, "Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?
    You ain't gonna rule me."

    Just when all began to fade,
    I reached out, threw the Ace of Spades.
    I put her on a train to the Everglades.

    Now that it's all over and gone,
    Somehow I just don't feel so alone.
    But, lie, lie, lie it seemed like such a waste of time.
    She did not ever seem to know me,
    But, now it's much too late to show me.
    But, if I ever see that woman walkin down the street I'll just stand back,
    And try to move away slowly.
    Oh, yeah.

  • The first single from The Young OG Project is a street track named after a term that will be new to many. "This is a word that I've been hearing floating around and I thought, why not make a song out of it?' It's really about a situation that can get lit," Fabolous explained to MTV News.

    "You can come into a situation and it can be [calm] and you can turn it up and get it a little lit," he added. "It's a very aggressive New York street record and I wanted to start with that just to get the feel, and get you there first, [then] the rest of the album will take you different places."
  • The song's music video was directed by Gerald Victor, who has also worked with Wiz Khalifa, Black Milk and Royce Da 5'9 and was shot in the rapper's native Brooklyn. The clip was inspired by the 1990 film King of New York and finds Fabolous channelling Christopher Walken's ruthless mob boss character Frank White.

    Melissa Lyrics


    Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
    The gypsy flies from coast to coast,
    Knowing many, loving none,
    Bearing sorrow, having fun.
    But, back home he'll always run,
    To sweet Melissa.
    Mmmm-hmmm.

    Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
    And no one knows the gypsy's name,
    And no one hears his lonely sighs,
    There are no blankets where he lies.
    Lord, in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies,
    With sweet Melissa.
    Mmmm-hmmm.

    Again, the mornin's come.
    Again, he's on the run.
    A sunbeam's shinin through his hair.
    Fear not to have a care.
    Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on.
    Roll on.

    Crossroads, will you ever let him go? Lord, Lord.
    Or will you hide the dead man's ghost?
    Or will he lie, beneath the clay?
    Or will his spirit float away?
    But, I know that he won't stay,
    Without Melissa.
    Yes, I know that he won't stay, yeah,
    Without Melissa.
    Lord, Lord, it's all the same.
    Mmmmm-hmmmmm.

    Melissa Song Chart
  • Gregg Allman spoke at length about this song in an interview with the San Luis Obispo (CA) Tribune on November 30, 2006: "I wrote that song in 1967 in a place called the Evergreen Hotel in Pensacola, Florida. By that time I got so sick of playing other people's material that I just sat down and said, 'OK, here we go. One, two, three - we're going to try to write songs.' And about 200 songs later - much garbage to take out - I wrote this song called 'Melissa.' And I had everything but the title. I thought (referring to lyrics): 'But back home, we always run... to sweet Barbara' - no. Diane...? We always run... to sweet Bertha.' No, so I just kind of put it away for a while. So one night I was in the grocery store - it was my turn to go get the tea, the coffee, the sugar and all that other s--t... and there was this Spanish lady there and she had this little toddler with her - this little girl. And I'm sitting there, getting a few things and what have you. And this little girl takes off, running down the aisle. And the lady yells, Oh, Melissa! Melissa, come back, Melissa!' And I went, 'Oh - that's it.' I forgot about half the stuff I went for, I went back home and, man, it was finished, only I couldn't really tell if it was worth a damn or not because I'd written so many bad ones. So I didn't really show it to anybody for about a year. And then I was the last one to get to Jacksonville - I was the last one to join the band that became the Allman Brothers. And my brother sometimes late at night after dinner, he'd say, 'Man, go get your guitar and play me that song - that song about that girl.' And I'd play it for him every now and then. After my brother's accident, we had three vinyl sides done of Peach, so I thought well we'll do that, and then on the way down there I wrote "Ain't Wastin' Time No More." I wrote that for my brother. We were all in pretty bad shape. I had just gotten back from Jamaica and I was weighing at about 156, 6-foot-1-and-a-half - I was pretty skinny. So we went back down there, got in the studio and finished the record. And the damn thing shipped gold."
  • This was first recorded in 1968 by the 31st Of February, one of Gregg and Duane Allman's first bands. Duane's version of this with the 31st Of February is the first recording of him playing the bottleneck slide guitar, a technique he became famous for.
  • Steve Alaimo, who was operating the studio where The Allman Brothers recorded this song, received a songwriting credit on this track along with Gregg Allman. Alaimo had a few Hot 100 entries as a singer in the '60s and early '70s before moving into production work.
  • The part of the song that begins: "Crossroads, will you ever let him go" is probably a reference to Robert Johnson, a blues legend who supposedly went to a crossroads and sold his soul to the devil.
  • This was one of the first songs the band recorded without Duane Allman. He died in a motorcycle accident about four months before this was released. Eat A Peach was dedicated to Duane.
  • Gregg Allman told Esquire in 2013 that thanks to ready access to biphetamines, he had been awake for about two days when he wrote this song. He says that he was working like crazy on another song, but when he played it for his brother, Duane said, "What you have her is a new set of lyrics to an obscure Rolling Stones song." Said Gregg: "That's discouraging as s--t, right there. And just as I was about to say f--k it, I wrote 'Melissa.'"
  • At Duane Allman's funeral in 1971, Gregg Allman played this song on one of Duane's old guitars. At the service, Gregg said, "This was my brother's favorite song that I ever wrote."
  • This was never a big hit in the US, but it has endured as a regular on classic rock radio.
  • The Allman Brothers performed this on the last episode of the syndicated Dennis Miller Show on July 25, 1992.
  • This was used in a commercial television advertisement campaign for Cingular/AT&T Wireless. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

    Hold Back The River Lyrics


    Tried to keep you close to me,
    But life got in between
    Tried to square not being there
    But think that I should have been

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back

    Once upon a different life
    We rode our bikes into the sky
    But now we call against the tide
    Those distant days are flashing by

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back

    Hold oho, oho, oho, oho
    Oho, oho, oho, oho

    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold

    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander

  • James Bay grew up in the English town of Hitchin listening to James Taylor and Bob Dylan, before studying guitar at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music. The bluesy singer-songwriter first gained some traction after playing right before The Rolling Stones during the band's 2013 Hyde Park shows. He also had a hugely successful run of support slots with Tom Odell, John Newman and Kodaline. Bay's big breakthrough came when he was named Critics Choice 2015 by the Brit Awards panel. The award is almost a guarantee of success - Adele, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith have all won the prize early in their careers.
  • Bay's debut single "Let It Go" was iTunes single of the week. This is his second single, which peaked at #2 on the UK singles chart.
  • James Bay told The Sun about the song: "I wrote it after my first really busy period as an artist, when music had taken me around the world for the first time, and at the end of the year, I've become really eager to see friends and my family properly. 'Hold Back The River' is a metaphor for that feeling."
  • James Bay penned the song after a headlining show in London. He wanted to connect with all those he knew who had come to the gig, even if he barely had the time to see them. Bay explained to Billboard magazine: "In a song I wanted to say, 'I know I'm not around very often at the moment, but I'm never gone. We can always give each other a call.' It all came out of that emotion."
  • The song was a last-minute addition to the LP. Bay told Billboard: "When I started recording my album, there was a little gap I was looking to fill, so I was messing with ideas, and 'Hold Back the River' was the last one to be written. It was late to the album recording party but made it in through the door, and I'm really glad it did."
  • James Bay told NME how the music of an American rock band fed through into this song: "I was listening to Kings of Leon and the key track was 'The Bucket,'" he said. "I loved the repetitive, relentless guitar and the pace of it, the rush at the end is the same as where I take 'Hold Back The River' – that was the inspiration."

    There is another connection to the American rockers. James Bay's debut album Chaos and the Calm was recorded in Nashville with Kings of Leon producer Jacquire King.

    There's fire in her eyes in the altercation
    She blames her poverty on her parents generation
    She says they sniffed it up their nose now they want our payments
    Its fucking cold in here, the landlord's tryna make us vagrants
    And Jacky our whiskey buddy hits him with an iron fist
    The landlord goes down swinging while you drink your buddies piss
    I don't know what to do now that I'm definitely on a list
    I just sit back, drink brew with Coca-Cola communists

    I'm glad you came and turned up next to me
    Like a grenade with a pin out at the party
    You're like a fucking hurricane next to me
    There's fire on the fringe whittle them down, down

    I think she lost her looks to the beauty and terror
    She says her friends are fucked and in the fairest of weather
    She asked me is it painless am I humouring the brainless
    Being young and drunk and all fucked up and being in entertainment
    I don't ask the questions I don't write the rules
    I'm up for suggestions I will follow you through
    It can't be any worse then what I've been up to
    It can't be any worse then what I've been up to

    I'm glad you came and turned up next to me
    Like a grenade with a pin out at the party
    You're like a fucking hurricane next to me
    There's fire on the fringe whittle them down, down

    I don't know what it is that your doing to me
    I haven't cracked a smile since '93
    She says a pretty dull, dull place to be
    No shit Sherlock, shoot them down, down, down

    I don't ask the questions I don't write the rules
    I'm up for suggestions I will follow you through
    It can't be any worse then what I've been up to
    It can't be any worse then what I've been up to

    I don't ask the questions I don't write the rules
    I'm up for suggestions I will follow you through
    It can't be any worse then what I've been up to
    It can't be any worse then what I've been up to

    I'm glad you came and turned up next to me
    Like a grenade with a pin out at the party
    You're like a fucking hurricane next to me
    There's fire on the fringe whittle them down, down

    I don't know what it is that your doing to me
    I haven't cracked a smile since '93
    She says a pretty dull, dull place to be
    No shit Sherlock, shoot them down, down, down

    The Prophet Song Chart
  • Over a lazily strummed guitar, this graphic tale finds Jamie T singing of a wild child reaching rock bottom. It was inspired in part by Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett's The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas disc. Speaking with NME, Jamie praised the Australian singer-songwriter for her songwriting skills, saying: "I was listening to her record a lot when I was writing 'The Prophet'. I went to see her live and it struck me how she keeps her songs simple, but when you dig a bit deeper there's a lot of ideas."
