[Verse 1: Johnny Cash, Tom T. Hall]
I'm the last of the babies of the World War II
World War II, 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
[Refrain: Johnny Cash]
And I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah
[Verse 2: Tom T. Hall, Johnny Cash]
I remember when the freight trains, they used to run on coal
And they'd run on coal and I was ready to go (Me, too)
Old white shirt and a tired overall
Sometimes I think that my daddy knew it all
[Refrain: Tom T. Hall]
And I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah
[Verse 3: Johnny Cash, Tom T. Hall]
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 too tall shoes off my feet (Look out)
[Refrain: Johnny Cash]
And I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah
[Verse 4: Tom T. Hall]
I'm a World War baby holding mama's hand
Mama's hand and how my daddy knew the land
Truck bearing music and poverty and wealth
I got some great big scars on myself
[Refrain: Tom T. Hall]
And I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah
[Verse 5: Johnny Cash]
I'm the last high roller with the last good hand
Last good hand and I'm a gambling man
All them bombs and people waiting on that boom
Sometimes I reckon I got here too soon
[Refrain: Johnny Cash, Tom T. Hall]
I'm the last of the drifters
I'm the last of the drifters, yeah
I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters
[Outro: Johnny Cash, Tom T. Hall]
You remember that second World War, don't you?
Yeah, I do, saw it on you
Right, and Marilyn's legs (Yeah)
I heard that
Gene Autry on a Saturday night
