He`s got that funny name
An` ramblin` that`s his game, that`s it
He`s Rambo, talkin` bout
Me!
We`ll see (Piano)
They call him Rambo `cause he`s travellin`
He don`t stay one place
His life`s a string he keeps unravellin`
He don`t leave no trace
He`s got a yen for changin` places
He digs changin` scenes
That way he stays in everybody`s good graces
He`s happy on the move
He`s mobile and free
He wants no strings attached
That`s how it`s gotta be, see!
He`ll keep on ramblin` till the coda
He don`t stay one place
Because he`s just a ramblin` man
His favorite hobby`s hittin` the road
He was a fella livin` solely by the ramblers only code
Some people`re born to roam
Fate gave `em roamin` natures
An` so they wander aroun`
Leavin` people wondrin` when they`ll touch the groun`
Hither `n yon, here `n beyon`
Wherever they never been before
As soon as you`re used t`their face
They`re off `n runnin` again
Gone to another new place
Peripatetic is the only word
that I have ever heard that people could use
that really describes him
There`s no other word could do that
Only other word I know that comes
The closest to it is Gypsy
An` that don`t really fit him at all
Cause he ain`t tellin` fortunes
`N hates bein` dipsy
Everywhere I go they call him Rambo
`Cause he won`t stay long
In my ramblin`
I`ve met a lotta people here `n there
An` I find they`re `bout the same everywhere
Each with his own little thing
That he uses while he`s tryin` to swing
Maybe the look ain`t the same
But they play the same game
An` there`s quite a bit o` difference
In their outlook, I know
Still `n yet, their story, lem`me tell you
Is a story that you won`t forget
When I was young `n very green
I felt so stuck with m`present situation
Later, when I got a little older
that was when I discovered I could split
`N find myself another groove
That was all I need
I was on the move
I packed my little sack `n started ramblin`
To this day I`m a rover who`ll always be ramblin`
You git drug stayin` in one place
Depressed an` feelin` low down
Get new kicks movin` roun`
Roamin` the country`s educational for you
`N widens your point of view
Tests y` mettle `n cools y` mind out
`N that`s true without a doubt
Y know? I mean y`dig - -
That`s Rambo`s gig
Rambo is ready to ramble `n itchin` t`split
Oh yeah, he`ll start packin` `n quit it
Forget it! `Cause he`s done with it
That`s Rambo! Travellin` light
Stay too long he`ll git uptight
So his motto is Keep movin`
You got it! That`s his bit!
Nex` time he might leave an address
`Cause the little girl that he met
Las` night
Paid him so much attention
That it got him a bit uptight
We might not have t`call him Rambo
`Cause he jes` might be settlin` down
He`s gone the way of all men
Fat, skinny or tall men
It happened to this Rover we know - Rambo
