Black Stone Cherry - The Rambler Lyrics






You were born in a southern fall
it might of been Sunday but I can't recall
all the birthdays I must have missed
your first steps and your first kiss
I don't even know if you know my name
but you should hear the truth before it's too late
so I hope this finds you
on some highway

Cuz I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
forgive my indiscretion
it's the only way I know
a million miles from Kentucky
but I will always be around
so turn the radio up when your heart breaks down

I played for tips and I played for less
I played a pretty southern girl right out of her dress
she danced until the lights came on
but there's a reason she's here instead of being at home
she said the songs you sang made the whole room cry
and that night I told a young man's lie
when I said I would call her
and I said I'd write

Cuz I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
forgive my indiscretion
it's the only way I know
a million miles from Kentucky
but I will always be around
so turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
turn the radio up when your heart breaks down

I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry
I'm sorry for the promises that turned to lies
if I could turn back the hands of time
I'd take you back and try try try
to make you understand
that this is who I am

I met a devil in an old motel
it seems I ain't got much of a soul to sell
my glass is empty
my hands are blue
and the doctor gave me about a month or two
well I thought I would make it to you this year
so forgive me one last time my dear
and tell your mother
I won't be coming home

Cuz I'm an old time rambler
I call the road my home
forgive my indiscretion
it's the only way I know
a million miles from Kentucky
but I will always be around
so turn the radio up when your heart breaks down
turn the radio up when your heart breaks down

    Met my 30 year old Daughter to celebrate her Birthday today. Her mother finally let her know who I was last September. We made first contact on New Year's Day. This has broken me down since the first time I heard it. Parts of this beautiful, heartfelt tune are very relevant to my situation. I was already a fan and have attended multiple shows. The last was at the Blind Tiger in Greensboro on Memorial Day Weekend. Thanks for the music. Keep it real. Much Love & Respect.

    Ya hace 9 años que escucho esta banda (Black Stone Cherry). Solo puedo decir que el talento de estos chicos y la humanidad de sus letras son increíbles. Tocan muchos tipos de música, desde algunos tipos de metal asta baladas como esta, que transmiten un montón de nostalgia. Tocan un Rock increíble, les recomiendo que escuchen más de ello

    I love my daughter Miley. I hope and pray that one day meet you. Please don't grow up like me. I didn't make it to you this year again. Forgive my indiscretion. I am a old time ramble and would give anything to be different and do different with you and for you. I beg you sweet daughter of mine, turn the radio up when your heart breaks down. You are my only child, please be more and better than what I have been thru and become. This song is the most real song about my life I have ever heard. I could almost swear it was wrote thinking about me. Except for the Kentucky part. She is home in Tennessee. Just know I love you more than anything or anyone else and maybe God will allow me to be in your life one day. To know you who I am and why you are calling another man daddy. True love is doing for another, and never letting them know the sacrifice made for them, that only the one knows about and holds onto so strong. All for real, true, honest love that only they understand the depth of why they are not sharing the truth with anyone. Its a love for only the giver to have and hold. Its not something to brag about or take credit for, it's something that is in and only from the heart. Miley Cheyenne, this song is played 2 times everyday for you. Forgive my indiscretion, it's the only way I know. I love you
