Build Me a Lover

Well, you see, this town's been cruel to me

But it's taught me many things

The thing I like most 'bout this town is a-leavin' it again

Well, the people, they all shun me

On the street and in the bar

And the only time they ever love is when I'm holdin' my guitar

She's a-lookin' for a reason

A reason to ride

Someone to help her cross the bridge that she has built inside

Me, I will keep driftin'

With no lover by my side

Gonna keep it that way until the day I die

Keep it that way until the day I die

Well, it's just what a good friend

He said to me

Maybe I am not where I thought that I would be

But a California street corner

Gonna have to work for me

Ramblin' man, have no destiny

Ramblin' man, have no destiny

When the Lord made me, He made a ramblin' man

And He built me a lover

Way down in southern land

She talks about all types of things that I don't understand

You don't know how to love me

Baby, I swear that I can

You don't know how to love

Baby, I swear that I can

You don't know how to love me

Baby, I swear

Well, I swear I can
