Standard (EADGBE)

 My hat don't hang on the same nail too long

 My ears can't stand to hear the same old song

 And I don't leave the highway long enough

 To bog down in the mud

 Cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood

I caught this ramblin' fever long ago

When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow

If someone said I ever gave a damn

They damn sure told you wrong

I've had ramblin' fever all along

Chorus

 Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees

 Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease

 There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa

 And let some pretty lady rub my back

 And spend the early morning drinking coffee

 And talking about when I'll be coming back

 Cause I don't let know no woman tie me down

 And I'll never get too old to get around

 I'm gonna die along the highway and rot away

 Like some old high-line pole,

 Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul
