I can settle down and be doin' just fine 'Till I hear an old train rollin' down the line So I hurry home, start to pack 'Cause if I didn't go if I blow my stack Well I love you baby, but you gotta understand When the Lord made me, He made a ramblin' man Well some folks they might say that I'm no good That I wouldn't settle down if I could When that open road starts to callin' me There's something that's o'er the hill that I gotta see Well some times it's hard, but you gotta understand When the Lord made me, He made a ramblin' man Well I love to see those towns go passing by And to ride these rails under God's blue sky So let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea 'Cause I believe that's the life that He meant for me So when I'm gone and at my grave you stand Just say "God's called home your ramblin' man"
