lyrics

They always called him Rosie
‘Cuz he really wasn’t
Just a gruff old guy
With a heart of gold
Drove a Rambler Classic
Smoked his Chesterfields
With Sears Roebuck boots
And red suspenders
Never saw him drink
But he always kept
An expensive bottle of scotch
Just in case
Took me to the gritty
Roadhouse bars
To get us lunch
Introduced me to all the regulars
Was a Rambler man
Drove me out through
The Wisconsin dairy lands
Man of few words
Knew all the farmers
Seemed to know everyone
Drove his yellow Classic
Smoking Chesterfields
Gruff old guy
I loved him more than anything
He’d take me out for ice cream
Said it was a man’s thing
He wasn’t very sweet
But loved his ice cream
Loved his grandson too
I’ll never forget him
Gruff old guy
A Rambler man
Never wasted a word
But you still knew where he stood
Drove a truck
Might have run whiskey
For the Chicago mob
He’d never say, but
If there’s a heaven
He’d be on those back roads
Driving somewhere with my grandma
In his yellow Rambler Classic
Never said much
But my grandma and me
Knew what he meant
When he said he loved us
Without a word
Just a Rambler driving man
Never wasting a sentence
When he didn’t have to
