  • She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
    Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in
    And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay
    She's answered by the tail lights
    Shining through the window pane

    He said, "I wanna see you again
    But I'm stuck in colder weather
    Maybe tomorrow will be better
    Can I call you then?"
    She said, "you're a ramblin' man
    And you ain't ever gonna change
    You got a gypsy soul to blame
    And you were born for leavin'"

    At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
    The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
    And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light is shinin'
    He thinks of Colorado
    And the girl he left behind there

    He said, "I wanna see you again
    But I'm stuck in colder weather
    Maybe tomorrow will be better
    Can I call you then?"
    She said, "you're a ramblin' man
    And you ain't ever gonna change
    You got a gypsy soul to blame
    And you were born for leavin'"

    Born for leavin'

    Well it's a winding road
    When your in the lost and found
    You're a lover, I'm a runner
    And we go 'round 'n 'round
    And I love you but I'll leave ya
    I don't want you but I need ya
    You know it's you that calls me back here, baby

    Oh I wanna see you again
    But I'm stuck in colder weather
    Maybe tomorrow will be better
    Can I call you then?
    'Cause I'm a ramblin' man
    I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change)
    Got a gypsy soul to blame
    And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')

    When I close my eyes I see you
    No matter where I am
    I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
    I'm with your ghost again
    It's a shame about the weather
    But I know soon we'll be together
    And I can't wait 'til then
    I can't wait 'til then Writer/s: Coy Bowles, Levi Lowrey, Wyatt Durrette, Zachary Brown
