He's got that funny nameAn' ramblin' that's his game, that's itHe's Rambo, talkin' bout Me!We'll see (Piano)They call him Rambo 'cause he's travellin'He don't stay one placeHis life's a string he keeps unravellin'He don't leave no traceHe's got a yen for changin' placesHe digs changin' scenesThat way he stays in everybody's good gracesHe's happy on the moveHe's mobile and freeHe wants no strings attachedThat's how it's gotta be, see!He'll keep on ramblin' till the codaHe don't stay one placeBecause he's just a ramblin' manHis favorite hobby's hittin' the roadHe was a fella livin' solely by the ramblers only codeSome people're born to roamFate gave 'em roamin' naturesAn' so they wander aroun'Leavin' people wondrin' when they'll touch the groun'Hither 'n yon, here 'n beyon'Wherever they never been beforeAs soon as you're used t'their faceThey're off 'n runnin' againGone to another new placePeripatetic is the only word that I have ever heard that people could usethat really describes himThere's no other word could do thatOnly other word I know that comes The closest to it is GypsyAn' that don't really fit him at allCause he ain't tellin' fortunes'N hates bein' dipsyEverywhere I go they call him Rambo'Cause he won't stay longIn my ramblin'I've met a lotta people here 'n thereAn' I find they're 'bout the same everywhereEach with his own little thingThat he uses while he's tryin' to swingMaybe the look ain't the sameBut they play the same gameAn' there's quite a bit o' differenceIn their outlook, I knowStill 'n yet, their story, lem'me tell youIs a story that you won't forgetWhen I was young 'n very greenI felt so stuck with m'present situationLater, when I got a little olderthat was when I discovered I could split'N find myself another grooveThat was all I needI was on the moveI packed my little sack 'n started ramblin'To this day I'm a rover who'll always be ramblin'You git drug stayin' in one placeDepressed an' feelin' low downGet new kicks movin' roun'Roamin' the country's educational for you'N widens your point of viewTests why' mettle 'n cools why' mind out'N that's true without a doubtwhy know? I mean why'dig - -That's Rambo's gigRambo is ready to ramble 'n itchin' t'splitOh yeah, he'll start packin' 'n quit itForget it! 'Cause he's done with itThat's Rambo! Travellin' lightStay too long he'll git uptightSo his motto is Keep movin'You got it! That's his bit!Nex' time he might leave an address'Cause the little girl that he metLas' nightPaid him so much attentionThat it got him a bit uptightWe might not have t'call him Rambo'Cause he jes' might be settlin' downHe's gone the way of all menFat, skinny or tall menIt happened to this Rover we know - Rambo
