Lyrics
As I linger on this windy road
Reflecting while traveling on a windy road
My suitcase in my hand
Carrying a suitcase
I think on how some hours ago
Recalling a recent moment when they stood together
Together we did stand
Emphasizing unity and togetherness
Bewildered tears lay in your eyes
Noticing tears in the partner's eyes
As you tried to make me see
Partner's attempt to convey something important
That if you gave your love to me
Implying a condition for receiving love
I could leave so easily
Expressing ease in leaving despite love offered
'cause I am called the ramblin' boy
Self-identification as a wandering individual
Like the wind that is so free
Comparing oneself to freely flowing wind
Yes I am called the ramblin' boy
Reiteration of being a wanderer
So ramblin' boy I'll be
Commitment to maintaining that wandering identity
I turn my collar to the cold
Adjusting clothing for the cold weather
I pull my cap down low
Pulling cap down to protect against the cold
I sing this song I wrote for you
Singing a song written for the partner
Wherever I may go
Commitment to carry the song's sentiment everywhere
So I linger on this windy road
Continuing to linger on the same road
I hope your tears are dry
Hope for partner's emotional healing
Don't you never forget this ramblin' boy
Encouraging remembrance of the wandering nature
No matter how hard you try
Stating the difficulty in forgetting the wandering nature
'cause I am called the ramblin' boy
Reiterating the self-identification as a wanderer
Like the wind that is so free
Comparing oneself again to free-flowing wind
Yes I am called the ramblin' boy
Reaffirming the identity as a wanderer
So ramblin' boy I'll be
Reiteration of commitment to wander
