Verse 1
I’m awake in a sleepy old town
It’s deserted there’s no one around
Don’t care where I’m goin’, don’t know where I’ve been
Don’t know where it started or how it will end
That’s the life of a born ramblin’ man
Verse 2
I met a girl from the town of “Nowhere”
I couldn’t stay, it got restless back there
I don’t blame her for givin’, Lord, I needed her then
She knew my way of living, wild and free as the wind
That’s the life of a born ramblin’ man
Verse 3
If the plans that I made yesterday
Fall apart on some lonesome highway
I’ll sleep by the roadside till it’s mornin’ again
Wash my face in the water from the creek around the bend
That’s the life of a born ramblin’ man
Verse 4
The semi’s keep passin’ me by
That ol’ sun’s gettin’ hot in the sky
A shade tree, old bottles, and battered beer cans
Dust from a tractor plowing up the rich land
Seen it all as a born ramblin’ man
Ending
That’s the life of a born ramblin’ man
