Black Stone Cherry - The Rambler lyrics
[Black Stone Cherry - The Rambler lyrics]
You were born in a southern fall
It might have been sunday
But I can't recall all the birthdays
I must have missed your first steps
And your first kiss i don't even know
If you know my name
But you should hear the truth
Before it's too late
So I hope this finds you on some highway
'cause I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
Forgive my indiscretion
It's the only way I know
A million miles from Kentucky
But I will always be around
So turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
I played for tips and I played for less
I played a pretty southern girl
Right out of her dress
She danced until the lights came on
There's a reason she's here
Instead of being at home
She said the songs you sang
Made the whole room cry
And that night I told a young man's lie
When I said I would call her
And I said I'd write
'cause I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
Forgive my indiscretion
It's the only way I know
A million miles from Kentucky
But I will always be around
So turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
Turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
I'm sorry for the tears i made you cry
I'm sorry for the promises
That turned to lies if I could turn back
The hands of time
I'd take it back and try, try, try
To make you understand that this is who I am
I met the devil in an old motel
It seems I ain't got much of a soul to sell
My glass is empty my hands are blue
And the doctor gave me about a month or two
Well, I thought I would make it
To you this year
So forgive me one last time my dear
And tell your mother i won't be coming home
'cause I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
Forgive my indiscretion
It's the only way I know
A million miles from Kentucky
But I will always be around
So turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
Turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
It might have been sunday
But I can't recall all the birthdays
I must have missed your first steps
And your first kiss i don't even know
If you know my name
But you should hear the truth
Before it's too late
So I hope this finds you on some highway
'cause I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
Forgive my indiscretion
It's the only way I know
A million miles from Kentucky
But I will always be around
So turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
I played for tips and I played for less
I played a pretty southern girl
Right out of her dress
She danced until the lights came on
There's a reason she's here
Instead of being at home
She said the songs you sang
Made the whole room cry
And that night I told a young man's lie
When I said I would call her
And I said I'd write
'cause I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
Forgive my indiscretion
It's the only way I know
A million miles from Kentucky
But I will always be around
So turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
Turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
I'm sorry for the tears i made you cry
I'm sorry for the promises

When your heart breaks down
Turn the radio up
When your heart breaks down
