Merle Haggard Ramblin' Fever Lyrics

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 d___
they d___ sure told you wrong
I've had ramblin' fever all along

Ramblin' fever
the kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
there ain't no cure for my disease

There's times that I could beddown on a sofa
and let some pretty lady rub my back
And spend the early morning drinking coffee
'n' talkin' about when I'll be coming back

'Cause I don't let no woman tie me down
'n' I'll never get too old to get around
I'm gonna die along the highway
and rot away like some old highline pole
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul

Ramblin' fever
the kind that can't be measured by degrees
Ramblin' fever
there ain't no cure for my disease
