Weird Thought Thinker
Joshua Hedley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A fiddler, a gypsy, and a wandering soul
I'm a little bit crazy, a little bit lazy
And I don't feel at home unless I'm on the road
I got rambling fever down deep in my bones
From backroads and byways to places unknown
From wasteland to Graceland or wherever I roam
I'm a cigarette smoker, a corny joke joker
But I can get mean when my back's on a wall
I'm a hell of a drinker and a weird thought thinker
And I do things my way or no way at all
I got rambling fever down deep in my bones
From backroads and byways to places unknown
From wasteland to Graceland or wherever I roam
And I'm never alone on the road
I can get mighty squirly, a little bit surley
But everything changes when you're moving along
Uncomfortable silence, we'll leave that behind us
And write it all down in the words of a song
I got rambling fever down deep in my bones
From backroads and byways to places unknown
From wasteland to Graceland or wherever I roam
And I'm never alone on the road
And I'm never alone on the road
