I could settle down
and be doin' just fine
'til I hear that old freight

comin' down the line
Then I hurry straight
home and pack and if i didn't go

I'd be 'bout lose 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 callin' me
there's somethin' o'er the hill that i got to see
Sometimes it's hard, but you gotta understand

when the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man

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
