I pulled outta memphis, 3 AM
Ain't no tellin' baby where I've been
Might have been right, might have been wrong
Don't matter now, I'm good as gone
I met a pretty lady in Tennesse
She tried so hard to latch on to me
I gave her a kiss, shook her loose
By the morning light I was on the move

Ramblin' bones keep me runnin'
Ramblin' bones if I'm ready or not
Ramblin' bones got me nothin'
Ramblin' bones is what I got

Well, the preacher man comes
Tried to chase me down, it was plain to see
I was hell-fire bound
He was gonna save my wicked soul
I said: Make it quick preacher, I gotta roll
Then an angel swooped down in the middle of the night
Woke me from my sleep, she showed me the light
Said: Time has come for me to take you home
I said: No offence angel, way so long

Ramblin' bones keep me runnin'
Ramblin' bones if I'm ready or not
Ramblin' bones got me nothin'
Ramblin' bones is what I got

You can't stop me, we've all tried
Gonna run these roads till' the day I die
Puttin' this soul, soul to the test
Till' they lay these ramblin' bones to rest

Ramblin' bones keep me runnin'
Ramblin' bones if I'm ready or not
Ramblin' bones got me nothin'
Ramblin' bones is what I got
