"The Rambler" lyrics - BALSAM RANGE

Miles and miles of hard ground
'Til you lay your body down
Soon as morning rolls around
You're up and gone again
Kind of free and kind of trapped
Wanna cry but gotta laugh
It all kind of overlaps
When you're out here in the wind

[Chorus:]
A little older and younger than you ought to be
Seen too much and not as much as you thought you'd see
Some men see a hill and feel like they just ought to be
On the other side
The good Lord made the rambler
But the devil taught him to ride

You're makin' 20, you're savin' 10
'Til you get that ache gain
You'll spend whatever you have to spend
To take away your blues
30 days is awful long
When the road you're ridin' on
Makes you weak instead of strong
And you got somethin' to lose

[Chorus:]
A little older and younger than you ought to be
Seen too much and not as much as you thought you'd see
Some men see a hill and feel like they just ought to be
On the other side
The good Lord made the rambler
But the devil taught him to ride

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus:]
A little older and younger than you ought to be
Seen too much and not as much as you thought you'd see
Some men see a hill and feel like they just gotta be
On the other side
The good Lord made the rambler
But the devil taught him to ride
