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 ramblin' man 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 a-shinin', He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind him 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 ramblin' man 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 you're 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 leave you I don't want you but I need you You know it's you who 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) I 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
