I can settle down and be doin' just fine 'Til I hear an old freight 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' o'er 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 a-pa**in' 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 gone and at my grave you stand Just say, God's called home your ramblin' man
