Well I've been livin' like a trucker, 
For a month or more. 
Well, I'm steaming like a diesel, 
That cannot feel it's throat. 
Well, I'm closing all the windows, 
Keeping out the rain. 
But, I'm not complaining, 
In fact I'd do it all again. 
I'm a ramblin' man, 
Cannot stop a travlin' man. 

I've been singing for my supper, 
But I never get to eat. 
Well I queue up at the diner. 
But I cannot find a seat. 

Well, I've been livin' like a gypsy, 
Feeling like a king. 
Really feel like singin'..you know, 
That's the mood I'm in. 
I'm a ramblin' man, 
Some kind of travlin' man. 

You'll never catch me working 9 to 5, 
That's for some people, but me I wanna ride. 
All around the world, to the planets end, 
I've seen some places, but more I ain't  seen yet. 

Yeah.... 

Lose an hour, gain an hour, 
Somewhere on a map. 
Flying through the time zone, 
Another plane to catch. 
Why I've always gotta see what's on the other side, 
So I pack my bag. 
Get on my way. 
And catch my train and ride. 

I've been livin' like a hawker, 
In days both hot and cold. 
Well, I'm sleeping if I have to, 
Before the wagons roll. 

Well, I've been hopin' and I've been prayin, 
Since I was last here. 
Tell your mama not to worry, 
Come on baby, get on up here. 

I'm a ramblin' man, 
Some kind of travlin' man. 

Well I've been livin' like a trucker, 
For a month or more. 
Well, I'm steaming like a diesel, 
That cannot feel it's throat. 

Well, I'm closing all the windows, 
Keeping out the rain. 
But, you won't hear me complaining, 
In fact I'd do it all again. 
I'm a travlin' man, 
Some kind of ramblin' man. 

Yes, I'd do it all again. 
I'd do it all again, baby. 
Travlin' man, travlin' man. 
Yeah....
