[Verse 1]
      Dm
I can settle down,
       Dm
And be doing just fine
       A
Till I hear an old freight
               Dm
Going down the line

[Verse 2]
       Dm
Then I hurry straight
Dm
Home and pack
         A
And if I didn't go
                      Dm
I believe I'd blow my stack

[Verse 3]
  Dm
I love you, baby
             Dm
But you must understand
         A
When the Lord made me
                   Dm
He made a ramblin' man

[Verse 4]
     Dm                                "Female lyrics"
Some folks may say              (Got my loving arms to keep you warm)
     Dm
That I'm no good                (In the kitchen cooking up a storm)
       A
That I wouldn't settle          (If uncle tells me stay away from you)
          Dm
Down if I could                 (That is something I could never do)

[Verse 5]
              Dm
But when that open road         (You're my baby, you're my loving man)
       Dm
Starts calling me               (When you're in trouble, do the best you can)
                  A
There's something over the hill (I'm naked, daddy, just for you)
                Dm
That I've gotta see             (Force of nature and you're coming through)

[Verse 6]
    Dm
Sometimes it's hard             (Loving you, going hot and cold)
              Dm
But you gotta understand        (Loving you, getting good and soaked)
         A
When the Lord made me           (How I know you hate to see me cry)
                   Dm
He made a ramblin' man          (Happens every time I say goodbye)

[Solo]

[Verse 7]
  Dm
I love to see                   (What's the use, you poor, seductive man)
          Dm
The towns passing by            (Don't get feelings and you'll understand)
       A
And to ride these rails         (Lying on somebody just like me)
                  Dm
'Neath God's blue skies         (Got you dancing to my melody)

[Verse 8]
       Dm
Let me travel this land         (God knows how I need your loving arms)
         Dm
From the mountains to the sea   (If you lose me, baby, telephone)
       A
'Cause that's the life          (Try to pieces, stay away from harm)
                       Dm
I believe He meant for me       (You're my baby though you do me wrong)

[Verse 9]
    Dm
And when I'm gone               (Love your nature, though I walk the line)
          Dm
And at my grave you stand       (Loving dreams, you're just a waste of time)
     A
Just say God's called           (Baby, please don't stay away too long)
                  Dm
Home his ramblin' man           (Fire's burning for when you get home)
