Cruisin’ the freeway, sittin’ side by side

Cruisin’ down the freeway is all I wanna do

Baby, let’s cruise away from here  
Don’t be confused, the way is clear  
And if you want it, you got it forever  
This is not a one-night stand, baby, yeah  
So, let the music take your mind  
Ooh, just release and you will find

Get your motor runnin’  
Head out on the highway  
Lookin’ for adventure  
And, whatever comes our way…

Got to have you, child  
Great God in Heaven, you know I love you

Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones  
Scream down the boulevard  
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors  
And the boys try to look so hard  
The amusement park rises bold and stark  
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist  
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight  
In an everlasting kiss

Oh see the boys out walking  
The boys, they look so fine  
Dressed up in green velvet  
Their silver buckles shine  
Soon they’ll be bleary eyed  
Under a keg of wine  
Down where the drunkards roll  
Down where the drunkards roll

Well, I rolled and I tumbled  
Cried the whole night long  
Well, I rolled and I tumbled  
Cried the whole night long  
When I woke up this morning  
Didn’t know right or wrong

I’m a rambler and a gambler  
I get drunk every night  
I just came 'round to tell you  
That I’m ragged but right

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man  
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can  
And when it’s time for leavin’, I hope you’ll understand

Ah, sometimes I grow so tired  
But I know I’ve got one thing I got to do

Ramble on  
And now’s the time, the time is now  
To sing my song  
I’m goin’ 'round the world, I got to find my girl  
On my way  
I’ve been this way ten years to the day  
Ramble on  
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams

‘Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside  
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice  
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home  
Knew I couldn’t stick around, I had to roam  
Ain’t good looking, but you know I ain’t shy  
Ain’t afraid to look it girl, hear me out  
So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away  
Take a little time out, and maybe I’ll stay  
But I got to ramble (ramblin’ man)  
Gamble (gamblin’ man)  
Ramble (ramblin’ man)  
I was born a ramblin’ gamblin’ man

I’ve been ramblin’  
Lord, I’ve been ramblin’

I’ve been waitin’, anticipatin’  
Lookin’ for the sun to shine

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel  
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel  
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon  
Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon  
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face  
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space  
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!

You might have heard my footsteps  
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind  
I might have even called your name  
As I ran searching after something to believe in  
You might have seen me runnin’  
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind  
If you remember something there  
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathin’
