Ramble On
Pickin' On Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaves are falling all around
Time I was on my way
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged
Such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
But now I smell the rain and with a pain
And it's headed my way
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know about a thing I got to do
Rambling on, now's the time, the time is now
Rambling on, I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way, oh, I've been this way ten years to the day
Rambling on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
I got no time to spread up roots
The time has come to be gone
And though I've heard feet drag a thousand times
It's time to ramble on
Rambling on, now's the time, the time is now
Rambling on, I'm goin' 'round the world, had to find my girl
On my way, oh, been this way ten years to the day
Rambling on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My freedom, I hold dear
Thousand years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
'Cause in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her, her, her, yeah
And there's nothing I can do, no
Rambling on, now's the time, the time is now
Rambling on, I'm goin' 'round the world, got to find my girl
On my way, oh, I've been this way ten years to the day
Rambling on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
Rambling on, oh, rambling on
Rambling on, oh, rambling on
Rambling on, oh, rambling on
