I can settle down and be doin' just fine Til I hear an old train rollin' down the line Then I hurry straight home and pack And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack I love you baby, but you gotta understand When the Lord made me He made a Ramblin' Man
Some folks might say that I'm no good That I wouldn't settle down if I could But when that open road starts to callin' me There's somethin' over the hill that I gotta see Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand When the Lord made me, He made a Ramblin' Man
I love to see the towns go passin' by And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea 'Cause that's the life I believe He meant for me And when I'm go-one and at my grave you stand Just say God called home your Ramblin' Man.
