I can settle down and be doin' just fine 'Til I hear an old train rollin' down the line Then I hurry home straight and pack And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack Oh, 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 even if I could Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea 'Cause it's the life I believe he meant for me I like to see the towns a-passin' by And the clouds drifting 'neath God's blue sky When that open road starts to callin' me There's something over the hill that I've got to see Oh and when I'm gone and at my grave you stand Say the lord called home your ramblin' man And I know it's hard but you gotta understand When the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man When the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man
