My hat don't hang on the same nail too long   My ears can't stand to hear the same old song   An' I don't leave the highway long enough to bog down in the mud   'Cos 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 damn, the damn 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 kind of cure for my disease      There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa   And let some pretty lady rub my back   And spend the early morning drinking coffee   And talkin' about when I'll be coming back      'Cos I don't let no no woman tie me down   And I'll never get too old to get around   I want to die along the highway and rot away like some old high-line 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 kind of cure for my disease, yeah
