I'm walking down the railroad tracks There ain't no way I'm looking back I'm going to a place that's far from here Oh god what have I done I have nowhere left to run And home's nothing but a distant memory I walked until my feet were sore Oh I can't take it anymore Jesus Christ will this ever end I've been down that road before I'm no longer keeping score So is this what it means to be free? I'm a ramblin' man, or so the people say I'm a rabble-rousin' son of a gun And I take it day by day "Give me liberty, or give me death!" I scream until I lose my breath But I can settle for another beer Oh it is a force of habit When you want something, you grab it So grab a glass and say a prayer for me I'm a ramblin' man I've rambled all day long I'm a rabble-rousin' son of a gun But I know this can't go on
