Not really, he says he's on his way to New Orleans this morning, leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee.......and the Delta women think the world of him!

Oh. I see. The "Lord I was born a ramblin' man misled me."

 

[Huskee11]

Oh. I see. The "Lord I was born a ramblin' man misled me."

I see how that could happen. The “Ramblin’ Man” does ramble, but with at least some direction. The “Wanderer”, on the other hand, just goes around, around, around, around, around…….

 

[Huskee11]

The fact that this song has not yet been mentioned is truly unforgivable

Twenty-Five Miles, Edwin Starr 1969

I mean Edwin was walking for three days and two lonely nights!

That made him mighty mad, huh

“Come on feet don’t fail me now…”

 

[Huskee11]

Never made it to the Greasy King

 

[bantamlaker]

I'm a travelin' man
Made a lot of stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart
Of at least one lovely girl

 

[Scud49]

Can't leave Frank out of things, he was always in the middle of something, somewhere:

"Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets"....

Amboy Dukes - Journey to the Center of the Mind

Steely Dan - Don't Take me Alive

"I'm a bookeeper's son, don't want shoot no one, well I crossed my old man back in Oregon"

 

[Scud49]

Jerry Jeff Walker - LA Freeway

If I can just get off of this L.A. freeway
Without gettin' killed or caught
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought....

 

[Scud49]

CCR - Born on the Bayou:

"Wish I was a fast freight train"....

 

[64Zcode]

The Hollies - Long Dark Road
Nice harmonies on this one

 

[64Zcode]

Bob Welch - Outskirts
Keeping with the 'dark road' theme:

Long road windin'
Headlights in the dark
Don't know where we're goin'
But it can't be too far...
