DEEP PURPLE LYRICS - Ramshackle Man

"Ramshackle Man"



My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view

I got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true

I had something going but I blew it down the can

Not exactly what I planned

I'm a ramshackle man

That's what I am



I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack

Shuffling around never get to the top of the park

I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand

But he couldn't give a damn

I'm a ramshackle man

That's what I am



I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do

I start out fine then I pick up something new

Stumbled through the door that's how it all began

Now it's buried in the sand

I'm a ramshackle man

That's what I am



The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play

Never feeling more than I'm feeling right here today

I used to be fresh but now I'm second hand

I do what I can

I'm a ramshackle man

That's what I am
