I could settle down, be doing just fine

′Til I hear that ol' freight rolling down the line

Then I hurry straight home and packIf I didn′t go, I believe I'd blow my stack

Love you, baby, but you got to understand

When the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man

Some folks might say that I′m no good

Wouldn′t settle down, even if I could

When that open road starts to calling me

Something over the hill I got to see

Sometimes it's hard, but you got to understand

When the lord made me, he made a ramblin′ man

Love to see the town passing by

Ride the rails 'neath God′s blue skies

Travelling land from the mountains to the sea

'Cause the life I believe he meant for me

When I′m gone, my grave you stand

God call home your ramblin' man

Ramblin' man

Ramblin′ man
