tions were to stay
It wasn't nothing she had done
or nothing she could say
To change this old familiar feeling
that makes chills run through my skin
Less she read my mind and saw
the sings that point around the bend
My toothbrush never leaves my pock
et there's no anchor on my feet
If my sleepin' bag gets dusty
and there's not enough to eat
I may stay an extra day till I
find another town
You can bet there's not a lady that can
show this freight train down
And I'll be moving in the
morning leaving you be hind
If anyone should ask you you can
tell them they will find
Somebody walking down the highway
with a guitar in his hand
And I'll always be remembered as
a free born rambling man
[ guitar ]
Lord tell the children when they find me
that I died but not in vain
They can find reincarnation in
the whistle of a train
And each time they hear the whistle blow
through the stillness of the land
They'll know that I was happy
as a free born rambling man
And I'll be moving...
