Mm-hmm
Been tearin' up this black top road
Puttin' miles on a broke down van
Countin' miles 'til I get home
I wanna sleep in my own bed
Cross the border to the Lone Star State
Came all the way from Macon, Georgia
Can't say that I planned to stay
But that woman sure could change my mind
When she look at me like
"Hey, baby, come over here
Go on, tell me what I wanna hear
Give me lovin' that'll drive me wild"
And, uh-uh, honey, won't you stay for a while?
But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down
When it comes to a ramblin' man
Baby, I hold the crown
Might hang around here for a little while
It's off to the next town
But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down
Lord, I know my baby's good to me
She loves me more than she should
She tells me everything's gon' be alright
Someday soon, I'll be home for good
But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down
When it comes to a ramblin' man
Baby, I hold the crown
Might hang around here for a little while
It's off to the next town
But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down, yeah
She said, "Baby, baby, come over here
Go on, tell me what I wanna hear
Give me lovin' that'll drive me wild"
And, uh-uh, honey, won't you stay for a while?
But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down
When it comes to a ramblin' man
Baby, I hold the crown
Might hang around here for a little while
And I'm off to the next town
But you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down
Whoa, you cannot, you cannot, you cannot hold me down
Can't hold me down
Well, don't you hold me down
