[Verse 1]
Ask me why a rambler ain't got no home
Ask me why I sit and cry alone
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
If I knew, I'd know what to do
[Verse 2]
Day in, day out seems I'm a-runnin' all on my own
Day in, day out there is weakness a-growin' in my bones
Wo, it ain't no use, nah, it ain't no use
My mind is dead I got to turn my body loose
[Verse 3]
Wish mama you could hear the words that I cry
Wish mama now at home I could die
But my time is late, my time is late
I'm on my own and Lord I've got it straight
[Verse 4]
No girl I've loved has ever held me down
No reason can I give for leaving this town
My love is true now, my love is true
But the road is long, I've got to see my journey through
[Verse 5]
So girl, don't deny the freedom that's born to me
Girl don't deny that a rambler must always be free
Someday you'll see now, babe, someday you'll see
That my ramblin's gonna be the death of me
