Lyrics

Ramblin' fever
The kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
Ain't no kind of cure for my disease
A hat don't hang on the same nail too long
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
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
and someone said I ever gave a damn,
well, he 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
Ain't no kind of cure for my disease
There's times I'd like to bed down on the sofa
and let some pretty lady rub my back
Spend the early mornin' drinkin' coffee,
talkin' bout when I'd be comin' back
I don't let no woman tie me down
I'll never get too old to get around
I wanna die along the highway right away
like some old high-line pole
I've got ramblin' fever in my soul
Ramblin' fever
the kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
Ain't no kind of cure for my disease
Ramblin' fever
the kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
Ain't no kind of cure for my disease
