    Lyrics

    Don't you go fallin' for the ramblin' kind
    Soon as you quit following you'll get left behind
    You can love 'em, believe in them,
    But don't you get to needin' em
    Nobody owns the ramblin' kind

    She was strong-backed and wild, and had the open highway in her heart
    And I loved the way she'd kick-start her bike, and roar off in the dark
    And I loved the far-away in her eye, as she'd stare off down the line
    I couldn't hold her heart but now that same highway cuts through mine

    Don't you go fallin' for a ramblin' girl
    Keep your eyes open when she takes you for a whirl
    You can hold her at night, but don't you hold her too tight
    Nobody owns a ramblin' girl

    I was tired and weary and had the feeling I'd been running way too long
    And her arms held sweet comfort, and her eyes held a song
    When we parted ways I tried to make a joke, but she just couldn't laugh
    We split like a wishbone, somehow I got the big half
    Don't you go fallin' for a ramblin' man
    He's just like water, he'll slip through your hands
    You can love him, you can touch him,
    but don't you try to clutch him
    Nobody owns a ramblin' man

    They just go speedin' by
    And you can ride with them for a stretch
    But the thing that caught your eye
    Is the one that you can't catch

    Don't you go fallin' for the ramblin' kind
    Soon as you quit following you'll get left behind
    You can love 'em, believe in them,
    But don't you get to needin' em
    Nobody owns the ramblin' kind
