[Verse 1]
I'm the last of [A]the babies

DiMaggio's baseball and
Marilyn's legs

[Verse 2]
And I'm the last of [A]the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah

[Verse 3]
[A]I remember when the great train,
they used to run on coal
[D]And they would run on coal and I
would be ready to go, me too
[A]Old white shirt and a tired overall
[D]Sometime I think my daddy
knew it all

[Verse 4]
And I'm [D]the last [A]of the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah

[Verse 5]
I remember [A]Louisiana in a hot steamy night
[D]Hot steamy night and she
was holding me tight
An [A]old red Chevy with a big back seat
I [D]had me some two tall shoes
off my feet

[Verse 6]
Okay, I'm the last of the [A]drifters

[Verse 7]
I'm [A]a world war baby holding
mama's [D]hand
Mama's hand and how my
daddy knew the land
[A]Truck bearin' music
and poverty and wealth
[D]I got some great big scars on myself

[Verse 8]
Now [D]I'm the last of the drift[A]ers
Last of the drifters, yeah

[Verse 9]
I'm the last tie [A]roller with
the last good [D]hand
Last good hand and I'm a gambling man
[A]All them bombs and people
wakin' on that boom
[D]Sometimes I reckon I got here too soon
