Subject: Lyr Add: RAMBLING'S GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME
Mark,
As a matter of fact, now that I know where the book is: Yes.
Ask me why a rambler ain't got no home Ask me why I sit and cry alone. I wish I knew, if I knew I'd know what to do.
Day in, day out seems I'm running all on my own Day in Day out, there's a weakness growing in my bones But it ain't no use; no it ain't no use My mind is dead I gotta turn my body loose.
Wish mama you could hear the words that I cry Wish mama now if only I could die But my time is late; my time is late, I'm on my own and Lord I've got it straight.
No girl I've loved has ever held me down No reason can I give for leaving this town My love is true, now my love is true But the road is long, gotta see my journey through.
Girl don't deny the freedom that's born in me Girl don't deny that a rambler must always be free Someday you'll see, someday you'll see That my ramblin's gonna be the death of me.
