Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Left my home
In a hail of blows
And I went
As far as I could go
And in my ears
Daddy's words still ring
"If you walk out now
Don't come back again"
[Verse 2]
One day Mama
And the younger ones
Might forgive me
For what I've done
Another year goes by
Another season turns
And still, this feeling
Inside of me burns
[Verse 3]
I keep movin'
From town to town
These ramblin' shoes
Don't like slowin' down
I got nobody
Got no place to be
I might be lonesome
But I'm free
[Verse 4]
I see storm clouds
Across the plains
With the window down
I can smell the rain
And those wheat fields
Wavin' in the sun
Sing back home
Where there's work to be done
[Verse 5]
I keep movin'
Town to town
These ramblin' shoes
Don't like slowin' down
I got nobody
Got no place to be
I might be lonesome
But I'm free
[Verse 6]
One door closes, the next door opens
At least that's what they say
I keep hopin' I'm gonna find that door someday
[Verse 7]
I keep movin'
Town to town
These ramblin' shoes
Don't like slowin' down
Got nobody
I got no place to be
I might be lonesome
But I'm free
I might be lonesome
But I'm free
