lyrics

My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
And I don't leave the highway long enough to bog down in the mud
I've got ramblin fever in my blood

I caught this ramblin fever long ago
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow
If someone said I ever gave a damn they damn sure told you wrong
I've had ramblin fever all along

Ramblin fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin fever
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease

There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa
And let some pretty lady rub my back
And spend the early morning drinkin cofee
Talkin about when I'll be comin back

But I won't let no woman tie me down
And I'll never get too old to get around
I wanna die along the highway and rot away like some old highline pole
And rest this ramblin fever in my soul

Ramblin fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin fever
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease
