- Ramblin' Man Lyrics

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up on the wrong end of gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down Highway 41

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
When it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin'
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always having a good time down on the bayou
Lord, and Delta women think the world of me

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, the Allman Brothers Band's 'Ramblin' Man' is a narrative that reveals a person who is natives to wander and never to oddly settle down in one spot. The song's text illustrates an existence woven with adventures, hazards, and a feeling of freedom that is permanently traveling and the allusion to one's birth on a Greyhound bus. The protagonist of the song dares to live a life of continuing going, searching for new things and people to meet, at the same time recognizing the hardships and the cost of such a life-style. Ramblin' man lyrics predominantly convey a message of freedom, adventure, empowerment, hope and joy. On the other hand, the song also highlights the very concepts of freedom and wanderlust, family legacy and struggle as well as perseverance. The rarer and strangely shaped among the themes in the lyrics are those of gambling and violence since the speaker refers to his dad being in the wrong position of a shootout. Even though these aspects might not be very appropriate for very young children, they are not powerful enough to cause an increase in rating. The feeling throughout is contemplative and does not involve profanity or lésbique content.
