Ramblin' Man

(album: The Complete Hank Williams - 1998)

I can settle down and be doing just fine
Til' I hear an old train rolling 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 Rambling Man

Some folks might sa-ay that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I could
But when that open ro-oad starts to calling me
There's something o'er the hill that I gotta see

Sometimes it's har-rd but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, He made a Ra-ambling Man

I love to see the towns a-passing 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-one and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your Ra-ambling Man
