[Intro]
G            C    G    D    G    C    D    G
[Verse]
                                       C 
My hat don't hang on the same nail too long 
   G                                     D 
My ears can't stand to hear the same old song 
    G                               C                        G 
An' I don't leave the highway long enough to bog down in the mud 
                         D           G 
'cause I've got ramblin' fever in my blood
[Verse]
                                  C 
I caught this ramblin' fever long ago 
     G                              D 
When I first heard a lonesome whistle blow 
   G                          C                            G 
If someone said I ever gave a damn, they damn sure told you wrong 
                  D              G 
I've had ramblin' fever all along
[Chorus]
         C 
Ramblin' fever 
    G                                D 
The kind that can't be measured by degrees 
G        C 
Ramblin' fever 
      G                D              G 
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease
[Verse]
                                        C 
There's times I'd like to bed down on a sofa 
    G                           C 
And let some pretty lady rub my back 
                                     G 
And spend the early morning drinking coffee 
                       D              G 
And talkin' about when I'll be coming back
[Verse]
                                   C 
'cause I don't let no woman tie me down 
         G                         D 
And I'll never get too old to get around 
          G                             C                            G 
I want to die along the highway and rot away like some old high-line pole 
                   D           G 
Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul
[Chorus]
         C 
Ramblin' fever 
    G                                D 
The kind that can't be measured by degrees 
G        C 
Ramblin' fever 
      G                D             G 
There ain't no kind of cure for my disease, yeah
[Outro]
G    C    G    D    G    C    G  D  G
