Dust On My Boots

by Jerry Jeff Walker

Lyrics
Started travelin'
My mind to unravel
A footloose tramp I thought I'd play
Now the knots unwind, gal
I'm singin' a different song now
Don't believe I'll ever change my ways

'Cause I'm a rambler
Love, youth I've gambled
This song's to sing a rambler's blues
No use in takin' heart, gal
Ain't in my cards now
I can't kick the dust off my blues

There ain't no use in
Me tryin' for excuses
I'll tell you true how I feel

Understood my leavin'
So don't you go to grievin'
If I say ramblin's all that's real
And I say ramblin's all that's real

There's no denyin'
Gal, there'll be no cryin'
The reason is it suits me so

Nothing more to say now
I guess I'm on my way, gal
I just stopped a spell to let you know

That I'm a rambler
Love, youth I've gambled
This song's to sing a rambler's blues
No use in takin' heart, gal
Ain't in my cards now
I can't kick the dust off my blues

Can't kick the dust off my blues
Yeah gal, keep walkin' down
See the sunshine, I'm on my way
I get the urge to roam
I know ramblin's real
