[Verse 1] Well, I left my baby crying At the break of dawn today She said, “You ain’t never gonna change” I said, “Honey, that’s okay” Got my suitcase in my right hand And my old guitar in tow I ain’t got no home but the highway And that’s the only home I know [Chorus] I’m a ramblin’ man, a honky-tonk man With a heart that’s bound to roam I got a pocket full of quarters And a heart that won’t stay home When the jukebox starts a-playing And that steel guitar starts to cry I ain’t got no home but the highway So I’ll keep rolling till I die [Verse 2] Well, I stopped in San Antonio Had myself a drink or two Met a little gal named Rosie With eyes as blue as morning dew She said, “Mister, where you headed?” I said, “Lord, I just don’t know” She said, “You sure look like a man Who’s got a long, long way to go” [Chorus] I’m a ramblin’ man, a honky-tonk man With a heart that’s bound to roam I got a pocket full of quarters And a heart that won’t stay home When the jukebox starts a-playing And that steel guitar starts to cry I ain’t got no home but the highway So I’ll keep rolling till I die [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll settle down Find a girl and buy a farm But tonight that highway’s calling And that bottle’s doing me no harm [Verse 3] Now the sun is going down On this dusty Texas road Got a dollar in my pocket And a heavy-hearted load There’s a honky-tonk up ahead I can see the neon glow I’ll pull up to that old barroom And let the good times roll [Final Chorus] I’m a ramblin’ man, a honky-tonk man With a heart that’s bound to roam I got a pocket full of quarters And a heart that won’t stay home When the jukebox starts a-playing And that steel guitar starts to cry I ain’t got no home but the highway So I’ll keep rolling till I die [Outro] Yeah, I’ll keep rolling till I die… Ain’t got no home but the highway
