I've seen the setting sun in California Her mountain winds they howl and moan And I've seen that half-moon rising up above To the sound of the train that'll carry me home Chorus: I've been a-roamin' (I've been a-roamin') I've been a-ramblin' (I've been a-ramblin') Thirty days on the road, baby I'll be home soon Now it's been a month or more here since I've seen you When I left home in the middle of the night Well it was wrong to leave, but I've been good since I've been gone And I'm coming back to put things right ( Chorus ) For my whole life I've heard the highway calling Spent most of it between two white lines Now I don't want to wind up alone So I'm bound to change my ramblin' mind ( Chorus - x2 )
