[Verse 1]
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've blow my stack

[Chorus 1]
I love you baby, but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, he made a ramblin' man

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
And when I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God's called home your ramblin' man

[Bridge]
I heard Steve singing 'bout Montgomery in the rain
And odds are up, the foes are weather
Like the songs written all about Denny and his pains
I'm a son of the blues you see and don't worry about him
And don't worry about me
