The Last Of The Drifters (w. Tom T. Hall) Lyrics - Johnny Cash

I'm the last of the babies of the World War 2 

World War 2 and that's the one we didn't lose, I heard that 

I was raised on biscuits, Spam and powdered eggs 

DiMaggio's baseball and Marilyn's legs 

And I'm The Last Of The Drifters 

Last of the drifters, yeah 

I remember when the great train, they used to run on coal 

And they would run on coal and I would be ready to go, me too 

Old white shirt and a tired overall 

Sometime I think my daddy knew it all 

And I'm The Last Of The Drifters 

Last of the drifters, yeah

I remember Louisiana in a hot steamy night 

Hot steamy night and she was holding me tight 

An old red Chevy with a big back seat 

I had me some two tall shoes off my feet 

Okay, I'm The Last Of The Drifters 

Last of the drifters, yeah 

I'm a world war baby holding mama's hand 

Mama's hand and how my daddy knew the land 

Truck bearin' music and poverty and wealth 

I got some great big scars on myself 

Now I'm The Last Of The Drifters 

Last of the drifters, yeah 

I'm the last tie roller with the last good hand 

Last good hand and I'm a gambling man 

All them bombs and people wakin' on that boom 

Sometimes I reckon I got here too soon
