Rambo

He's got that funny name

An' ramblin' that's his game, that's it

He's Rambo, talkin' bout

Me!

We'll see (Piano)

They call him Rambo 'cause he's travellin'

He don't stay one place

His life's a string he keeps unravellin'

He don't leave no trace

He's got a yen for changin' places

He digs changin' scenes

That way he stays in everybody's good graces

He's happy on the move

He's mobile and free

He wants no strings attached

That's how it's gotta be, see!

He'll keep on ramblin' till the coda

He don't stay one place

Because he's just a ramblin' man

His favorite hobby's hittin' the road

He was a fella livin' solely by the ramblers only code

Some people're born to roam

Fate gave 'em roamin' natures

An' so they wander aroun'

Leavin' people wondrin' when they'll touch the groun'

Hither 'n yon, here 'n beyon'

Wherever they never been before

As soon as you're used t'their face

They're off 'n runnin' again

Gone to another new place

Peripatetic is the only word

That I have ever heard that people could use

That really describes him

There's no other word could do that

Only other word I know that comes

The closest to it is "Gypsy"

An' that don't really fit him at all

"Cause he ain't tellin' fortunes

'N hates bein' dipsy

Everywhere I go they call him Rambo

'Cause he won't stay long

In my ramblin'

I've met a lotta people here 'n there

An' I find they're 'bout the same everywhere

Each with his own little thing

That he uses while he's tryin' to swing

Maybe the look ain't the same

But they play the same game

An' there's quite a bit o' difference

In their outlook, I know

Still 'n yet, their story, lem'me tell you

Is a story that you won't forget

When I was young 'n very green

I felt so stuck with m'present situation

Later, when I got a little older

That was when I discovered I could split

'N find myself another groove

That was all I need

I was on the move

I packed my little sack 'n started ramblin'

To this day I'm a rover who'll always be ramblin'

You git drug stayin' in one place

Depressed an' feelin' low down

Get new kicks movin' roun'

Roamin' the country's educational for you

'N widens your point of view

Tests y' mettle 'n cools y' mind out

'N that's true without a doubt

Y know? I mean y'dig - -

That's Rambo's gig

Rambo is ready to ramble 'n itchin' t'split

Oh yeah, he'll start packin' 'n quit it

Forget it! 'Cause he's done with it

That's Rambo! Travellin' light

Stay too long he'll git uptight

So his motto is "Keep movin'"

You got it! That's his bit!

Nex' time he might leave an address

'Cause the little girl that he met

Las' night

Paid him so much attention

That it got him a bit uptight

We might not have t'call him Rambo

'Cause he jes' might be settlin' down

He's gone the way of all men

Fat, skinny or tall men

It happened to this Rover we know - Rambo
