"Rambling Man" lyrics

Johnny Flynn & Lillie Flynn Lyrics

"Rambling Man"
(originally by Hank Williams)

I can settle down and be doin' just fine
Til' I hear an old train rollin' down the line
Then I hurry straight home and pack
And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow 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 to callin' me
There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see

Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, He made a Ramblin' Man

I love to see the towns a-passin' by
And to ride these rails, 'neath God's blue sky
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 go, and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your Ramblin' Man
