You Took All the Ramblin' Out of Me
Love's Stillness: Jerry Reed's Ode to Homebound Bliss
Lyrics
You took all the ramblin' out of me, girl
You, as a woman, have removed the desire for wandering or traveling from me.
With the finest lovin' I ever done seen
Your love is the best I have ever experienced.
Now all I wanna do is sit home and play my little guitar
My only desire now is to stay at home and play my guitar.
And sing songs about all the places that I've seen
I want to sing songs about the places I've been.
Your country loving and your country cooking
Your love and cooking, typical of the countryside, have amazed and liberated me.
Done blowed my mind and set me free
Your love and culinary skills have had a profound impact on me.
You took away all my urge to roam
You have eliminated my desire to wander or travel.
All I wanna do is just hang around home
I only want to stay close to home now.
'Cause you took all the ramblin' out of me
Your presence has completely removed the inclination to roam from me.
How I wound up down here in Monroe
I don't understand how I ended up in Monroe.
Is somethin' I'm never gonna figure out it's true
It's something I'll never figure out.
But your sweet love settled me down
Your sweet love has settled me down.
Made me quit all my ramblin' around
I've given up my wandering ways because of your love.
Now all I wanna do is sit home and grow old with you
Now, I just want to grow old with you at home.
Last night I heard a freight train through my window
Last night, I heard a train, but it didn't make me want to leave.
And I couldn't help thinkin' as I heard that whistle scream
I thought about how the sound didn't evoke the desire to travel because of you.
How that old lonesome sound don't make me itch and want to move around
The train's lonely sound no longer makes me restless.
Because you took all the ramblin' out of me, yeah
Your influence has removed the inclination to wander from me.
You took all the ramblin' out of me, girl
You, as a woman, have removed the desire for wandering or traveling from me (repeated).
With the finest lovin' I ever done seen
Your love is the best I have ever experienced (repeated).
Now all I wanna do is sit home and play my little guitar
My only desire now is to stay at home and play my guitar (repeated).
And sing songs about all the places that I've seen
I want to sing songs about the places I've been (repeated).
Your country loving and your country cooking
Your love and cooking, typical of the countryside, have amazed and liberated me (repeated).
Done blowed my mind and set me free
Your love and culinary skills have had a profound impact on me (repeated).
You took away all my urge to roam
You have eliminated my desire to wander or travel (repeated).
All I wanna do is just hang around home
I only want to stay close to home now (repeated).
'Cause you took all the ramblin' out of me (one more time, sing it)
Your presence has completely removed the inclination to roam from me (repeated).
You took all the ramblin' out of me, girl
You, as a woman, have removed the desire for wandering or traveling from me (repeated).
With the finest lovin' I ever done seen
Your love is the best I have ever experienced (repeated).
Now all I wanna do is sit home and play my little guitar
My only desire now is to stay at home and play my guitar (repeated).
