G5                               C5
My hat don't hang on the same nail too long
   G5                                     D5
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song
      G5                  G5          C5
And I don't leave the highway long enough
                   G5
To bog down in the mud
G5                       D5               G5
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 damn

They damn sure told you wrong

I've had ramblin' fever all along
       G5        C5              G5                            D5
Ramblin' fever, the kind that can't be measured by degrees
G5        C5                 G5              D5           G5
Ramblin' fever, there ain't no kind of cure for my disease
     D5      G5                               C5
There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa
    G5                           C5
And let some pretty lady rub my back
C5                      A5   C5        G5
And spend the early morning drinking coffee
                          D5           G5
And talking about when I'll be coming back


G5                                      C5
Cause I don't let know no woman tie me down
         G5                         D5
And I'll never get too old to get around
          G5                              C5
I'm gonna die along the highway and rot away
C5                       G5
Like some old high-line pole,
                   D5
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul

CHORUS
