Well I was born out past the railroad track
Struck out one evening and I ain’t been back
This ol’ highway has been my home
Lord knows I got a ramblin’ bone.
People tell me I’m a different breed
‘Cause this old guitar is all I need
I leave ‘em cryin’ with a sad old song
Son I was born with a ramblin’ bone
Yeah, I was born with a ramblin’ bone.
(Chorus)
Ridin’ high and rollin’ with the wind
Call me crazy but I won’t be back again
I’m just a gypsy honey, I’m a rolling stone
I’m born to ride this highway, I got a ramblin’ bone.
I found Heaven on a lost highway
She made it hard, but I just couldn’t stay
I loved her so, but I had to roll on
Now I’m on the road with a ramblin’ bone.
Blue skies and blacktop are all I know
I make my home everywhere I go
Faith in the good Lord to keep me strong
I guess I’ll die with a ramblin’ bone
I’ll probably die with a ramblin’ bone.
(Repeat Chorus)
