[Verse 1]
G C
My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
G D
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
G G7 C
And I don't leave the highway long enough
G
To bog down in the mud
G D G
'Cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood
[Verse 2]
G C
I caught this ramblin' fever long ago
G D
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow
G G7 C
If someone said I ever gave a damn
G
They damn sure told you wrong
G D G
I've had ramblin' fever all along
[Chorus]
G C G D
Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees
G C G D G
Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease
[Bridge]
G C
There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa
G C
And let some pretty lady rub my back
C Am C G
And spend the early morning drinking coffee
G D G
And talking about when I'll be coming back
[Verse 3]
G C
'Cause I don't let no woman tie me down
G D
And I'll never get too old to get around
G C
I want to die along the highway and rot away
G
Like some old high-line pole,
G D G
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul
[Chorus]
G C G D
Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees
G C G D G
Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease
