Ramblin' Fever

1 4
My hat don’t hang on the same nail too long
1 5
My ears can’t stand to hear the same old song
1 4
And I don’t leave the highway long enough
1
To bog down in the mud
5 1
‘Cause 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

4
Ramblin’ fever
1 5
The kind that can’t be measured by degrees
1 4
Ramblin’ fever
1 5 1
There ain’t no kinda cure for my disease

4
There’s times I’d like to bed down on a sofa
1 4
And let some pretty lady rub my back
1
And spend the early morning drinking coffee
5 1
And talkin’ about when I’ll be coming back

‘Cause I don’t let no woman tie me down
And I’ll never get too old to get around
I want to die along the highway and rot away
Like some old highline pole
And rest this ramblin’ fever in my soul
