I never meant to leave her, my intentions were to stay
GBmCD
It wasn't nothing she had done or nothing she could say
GBmCG
To change this old familiar feeling that makes chills run through my skin
GBmCD
Less she read my mind and saw the signs that point around the bend
GBmCG
My toothbrush never leaves my pocket, there's no anchor on my feet
GBmCD
If my sleepin' bag gets dusty and there's not enough to eat
GBmCG
I may stay an extra day till I find another town
GBmCDG
You can bet there's not a lady that can slow this freight train down
Chorus:
FCGFCG
And I'll be moving in the morning, leaving you behind
FCGA7D
If anyone should ask you you can tell them they will find
GBmCD
Somebody walking down the highway with a guitar in his hand
GBmCDG
And I'll always be remembered as a free born rambling man
Solo
Lord tell the children when they find me that I died but not in vain
They can find reincarnation in the whistle of a train
And each time they hear the whistle blow through the stillness of the land
They'll know that I was happy as a free born rambling man
Chorus
