That I wouldn't settle down if I could
I love to see the towns a-passin' by
When the Lord made me, he made a ramblin' man
Then I hurry straight home and pack
But when that open road starts to callin' me
I love you baby but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, he made a ramblin' man
And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky
'Cause that's the life I believe he meant for me
And when I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Some folks might say that I'm no good
There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see
Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea
And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand
