She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane

He said, "I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?"
She said, "you're a ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'"

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light is shinin'
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind there

He said, "I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?"
She said, "you're a ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'"

Born for leavin'

Well it's a winding road
When your in the lost and found
You're a lover, I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I'll leave ya
I don't want you but I need ya
You know it's you that calls me back here, baby

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
'Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change)
Got a gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')

When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then
I can't wait 'til then
