I can settle down nAnd be doing just fine nTill I hear an old freight nGoing down the line nnThen I hurry straight nHome and pack nAnd if I didn’t go nI believe I’d blow my stack nnI love you baby nBut you must understand nWhen the Lord made me nHe made a ramblin' mannnSome folks may say (Got my loving arms to keep you warm)nThat I’m no good (In the kitchen cooking up a storm)nThat I wouldn’t settle (If uncle tells me stay away from you)nDown if I could (That is something I could never do)nnBut when that open road (You're my baby, you're my loving man)nStarts calling me (When you're in trouble, do the best you can)nThere's something over the hill (I'm naked daddy just for you)nThat I’ve gotta see (Force of nature and you're coming through)nnSometimes it's hard (Loving you, going hot and cold)nBut you gotta understand (Loving you, getting good and soaked)nWhen the Lord made me (How I know you hate to see me cry)nHe made a ramblin' man (Happens every time I say goodbye)nnI love to see (What's the use, you poor seductive man)nThe towns passing by (Don’t get feelings and you'll understand)nAnd to ride these rails (Lying on somebody just like me)n'Neath God's blue skies (Got you dancing to my melody)nnLet me travel this land (God knows how I need your loving arms)nFrom the mountains to the sea (If you lose me baby, telephone)nCause that's the life (Try to pieces, stay away from harm)nI believe He meant for me (You're my baby though you do me wrong)nnAnd when I’m gone (Love your nature, though I walk the line)nAnd at my grave you stand (Loving dreams, you're just a waste of time)nJust say God's called (Baby please don’t stay away too long)nHome his ramblin' man (Fire's burning for when you get home)
