[Verse 1]
You told me you were only looking for a jar you could paint
And fill it up with spirits when you lose your way
Coffee in the morning and whiskey in May
It's all that you could do to try to get me to stay
It's all that you could do to try to get me to stay
[Verse 2]
You told me you were only looking for a fire to hone
To keep away the midwest cold
Now that winter's over, you don't need me close
It's all that you could do to try to get me to go
It's all that you could do to try to get me to go
[Chorus]
I'm what they call a ramblin' man
If you want me, I am gone
But if my leaving don't mean a thing
Then, baby, I'm coming home
Oh-oh, oh, oh
But if my leaving don't mean a thing
Then, baby, I'm coming home
[Verse 3]
You told me you were only lookin' for a candle to burn
You've been hurt so many times, it's your turn
But all eliminated were lessons learned
Like, fire hurts, for better or for worse
And painted jars make for better urns
[Chorus]
I'm what they call a ramblin' man
If you want me, I am gone
But if my leaving don't mean a thing
Then, baby, I'm coming home
Oh-oh, oh, oh
But if my leaving don't mean a thing
Then, baby, I'm coming home
[Verse 4]
You told me you were only lookin' for another way out
Somewhere between the stars and the clouds
Just far enough to forget about
All the broken pieces that are on the ground
Yeah, all the broken pieces that are on the ground
[Chorus]
I'm what they call a ramblin' man
If you want me, I am gone
But if my leaving don't mean a thing
Then, baby, I'm coming home
