Rambo

He's got that funny name

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

He's Rambo, talkin' 'bout me

We'll see

They call him Rambo because he's travelin'

He don't stay in 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 on the code

Some people are born to roam

Fate gave 'em roamin' natures

And so they wander around

Leavin' people wonderin' when they'll touch the ground

Hither and yon, here and beyond

Wherever they never been before

As soon as you're used to their face

They're off and runnin' again, gone to another new place

Peripatetic is the only word

That I had 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"

And that don't really fit him at all

"Cause he ain't tellin' fortunes, 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 and there

And see '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

There's quite a lot of difference

In their outlook, I know

Still, yet, their story, lemme tell you

Is a story that you won't forget

[Incomprehensible]

I felt so stuck with my present situation

Later, when I got a little older

That was when I discovered I could split

And find myself another groove

That was all I need, I was on the move

I packed my little bag and started ramblin'

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

You get drug stayin' in one place

Depressed and feelin' low down

Get new kicks movin' round'

Roamin' the country's educational for you

And widens your point of view

Tests your mettle, cools your mind out

And that's true without a doubt

You know? I mean you dig

That's Rambo's gig

Rambo is ready to ramble and itchin' to split

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

Forget it! 'Cause he's done with it

That's Rambo! Travelin' light

Stay too long, he'll get uptight

So his motto is "Keep movin'"

You got it! That's his bit!

Next time he might leave an address

'Cause the little girl that he met last night

Paid him so much attention

That it made him a bit uptight

We might not have to call him Rambo

'Cause he just 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
