i was a ramblin' man when i was young,
i'll be a ramblin' man until my days are done,
i left my footprints along the road for y'all to see.

try to find a ramblin' man for ya to carry me,
i still got lightnin' in my veins,
i still smell whiskey when it rains
i'm still tempted by the night
i still don't sleep 'til i see the sun rise
i still fight for what i believe and i believe a woman is a mystery

i was a ramblin' man when i was young,
i'll be a ramblin' man 'til my days are done,

now austin is my home and houston is where i'm from,
i got warrants up in lubbock and acuna you can just suck it,
i still love the college towns,
love it when they say drink one more round

i was a ramblin' man when i was young,
i'll be a ramblin' man 'til my days are done,

i still love 'ole willie songs,
i love the burnin' in my lungs,
i still love jumpin' out of planes,
i still go barefoot on the stage

i'm still a one woman man,
i still get naked when i can

i was a ramblin' man when i was young,
i'll be a ramblin' man 'til my days are done,
i left my footprints along the road for y'all to see.

try to find a ramblin' man if ya could to carry me
oh i hope i find that ramblin' man from galley-lee
