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 blow my stack
 I love you baby
 But you must 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 calling me
 There's something 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 crawling by
 And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky
 Let me travel this land
 From the mountains to the sea
 For 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
