ride on, ramblin man

ride on, ramblin man, keep your head held high,
and don't let the pain get to you when it's time to say goodbye;
to the ones you met along the trail,
who made it right, who made it real.
in this life which seems a masquerade of faces and places,
 someone reaches out and shows you how to feel.
but you can't stay for long now, no, you can't stay for long,
it's been all right, but it's all wrong...

ride on, ramblin man, keep your head held high,
just don't let the ladies see you cry;
cause they'll fall for you,
and then they'll call for you, and you'll be gone.
going down the highway, or maybe on the sea,
going down wherever another lesson may be.

ride on, ramblin man, keep your head held high
and  will you sometimes think of a lady who likes to fly...
just don't let the lady see you cry;
cause she'll fall for you,
then she'll call for you, and you'll be gone.
going down the highway, or maybe on the sea,
going down wherever another lesson may be.

love is so fine, doesn't matter if it's yours, or if it's mine,
but you can't stay for long now, no, you can't stay for long,
it's been all right, but it's all wrong...
