I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round
 Hangin' up my highway shoes
 Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound
 And they carry me away from you
 Every night I lay my body down
 My empty arms just leave me blue
 So I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
 And find my way back home to you
    
 I have always been the travelin' kind
 A million miles behind me now
 I kept on followin' that thin white line
 But now I want to turn around
 I only lived to hear that highway sound
 High and lonesome - low and blue
 Now I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
 And find my way back home to you
    
 So say goodbye to all my ramblin' pals
 Ol' Highway Dave and Southside Sue
 I don't believe they'll miss me anyhow
 What's one less wayward soul or two
 Down the road they'll pass the jug around
 And they'll sing them lonesome highway blues
 But me I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' 'round
 And find my way back home to you
