Free Born Rambling Man Lyrics - David Allan Coe

I never meant to leave her my intentions 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 pocket 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 behind 

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...
