Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I been down
Livin' on the street
Been playing for change
To a crowd of moving feet
Well, they call me high
But I never felt so low
And in this world
I got nowhere to go
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the time of the rambler?
Livin' in the big rock candy mountain days
Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler
But the game won't ever change
[Verse 2]
Well, I watch all the cars
Drivin' down the highway
And I wonder how
How much did they pay?
Well, I see their faces
Never smilin' my way
And I wonder how
How long is their day?
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the time of the rambler?
Livin' in the big rock candy mountain days
Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler
But the game won't ever change
[Verse 3]
Well, I watch all the rich folks
They seem to do so well
Hiding in their houses
Perched up on the hills
Can it buy you freedom?
Wishin' for the day
When all your sadness
Suddenly melts away
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the time of the rambler?
Livin' in the big rock candy mountain days
Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler
But the game won't ever change
[Outro]
But the game won't ever change
Aw, but the game won't ever change
