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

Day in day out seems I'm running all on my own
Day in day out there's weakness (a) growing in my bones
Whoa(d) it no use
No(t) it no use
My mind is dead, I got to turn my body loose

Wish mama you could hear the words that I cry
Wish mama now if only I could die
But my time is late
My time is late
I'm on my own and lord, I got it straight

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 got to see my journey through

So girl don't deny the freedom that's born (a) me
Girl don't deny that a rambler must always be free
Some day you'll see now babe
Some day you'll see
That my ramblin's going to be the death of me
