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' 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-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 gone, and at my grave you stand Just say God called home your ramblin' man
