A ramblin' man he was, yes, he was
His home was on the road and that's where he was
He's seen a thousand roads
He's been a million miles
And when he'd bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Honkytonks and dives all look the same
His gipsy heart keeps his shadow ridin' through the rain
A graveyard full of scars
His life will paint his songs
'Cause when you're on the road
There's nowhere you belong
He's seen a thousand roads
He's been a million miles
And when he'd bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
I make my living as a music man
I guess the blues must be just what I am
A graveyard full of scars
His life will paint his songs
'Cause when you're on the road
There's nowhere you belong
He's seen a thousand roads
He's been a million miles
And when he'd bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
