RAIN DON’T FALL DOWN ON ME THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO
I WAS JUST BUILT THIS WAY DOING MY BEST TO CARRY THROUGH
I WAS BORN A RAMBLING MAN NEVER FOUND A HOME
RAIN HOLD OFF A LITTLE WHILE ‘TILL I GET TO WHERE I’M GOING
I PUT ON MY WALKING SHOES WHEN I WAS 17
TWENTY YEARS OF HUGGING THE ROAD
LORD AND THE MILES IVE SEEN
I LOVE MY FAMILY MY MOTHER AND MY DAD
AND I THANK GOD FOR EVERY LOVER AND FRIEND I’VE EVER HAD
OH BUT THERE’S A RAINBOW AND THERE’S THE WINTER WIND AND SO MANY ISLANDS
AND THERE’S A STEEL HULLED SCHOONER AND THERE’S THAT MOUNTAIN IN AFRICA AND THE ETERNAL SAHARA AND MOSTLY THERE’S THE OCEAN AND ALL OF THESE EMOTIONS
KEEP PUSHING ME TO ASK FOR MORE
SOMEWHERE WITH COLOURS YOU CAN’T BELIEVE THAT BLOWS WILD THROUGH THE HOLLOW TREES YOU COULDN’T SEE THEM IN A THOUSAND YEARS AND A PILOT WITH THE WIND IN HIS EARS SWEET JESUS I WOULD LIKE TO CLIMB TO KEEP YOU DRY ‘TILL THE END OF TIME THAT ROLLS LIKE GOD TOWARDS EVERY SHORE
KEEP PUSHING ME KEEP PUSHING ME
SO RAIN DON’T FALL DOWN ON ME THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO I WAS JUST BUILT THIS WAY DOING MY BEST TO CARRY THROUGH I WAS BORN A RAMBLING MAN NEVER FOUND A HOME
RAIN HOLD OFF A LITTLE WHILE ‘TILL I GET TO WHERE I’M GOING
