This one slipped by me Jean, didn't see till today. Think my hook is kind of weak though.... (progressive Chorus)

(c)2011 Lynn Orloff
Title ? (country/male vocal)

I left her a note on her dresser (nightstand)
And wondered when it would get read
When I crossed the state line or before that
Packed my clothes night before while she slept

Then I waited till she left for work and
I said my goodbye to the dog
Even fixed that ole leak in her bathroom
Took one last look around then took off

And the note read “hey baby I love you
And I hope I don’t cause any pain
But you knew all along I’m a rambler
And ramblin’ blood runs/flows through my veins”

Got as far as my Chevy tank took me
Stopped to fill up and have me a bite
Then her picture fell out of my wallet
And it cut me as sharp as a knife

And I thought to myself man I’m crazy
Spinning wheels going nowhere but fast
Yeah a rambler’s high sure makes ya’ feel good
But a good woman’s love’s gonna’ last

But the note said “hey baby I love you”
I’m sorry but I’m heading south”
Would she ever forgive me I wonder
There was only one way to find out

Well I flew on down that interstate pushing ninety-five
Thinking I could make it, but her car was in the drive…

But she never did find my goodbye note
Thank the good Lord it fell on the floor
And the suitcase I said my friend borrowed
I had taken my last ramblin’ tour
And I won't be a ramblin' no more
