Ramblin' Man from The Beginning by Vandi Lynnae

Vandi Lynnae's premier single, "Ramblin' Man," transports you to a world of delicate finger picking with guitar voices interweaving to reveal the complexity of the singer's emotional state. Ms. Lynnae states that, "When (she) was writing the song, I had just been in Nashville with the sounds of music city washing over me, had visited with a friend who was only in town for a weekend to perform and then had to fly off to France for a music festival, and was reflecting on the life of a musician." In the song, she speaks to a man she loves, acknowledging that he needs to go, chase his dreams, and live the life he was meant for. She doesn't want to hold him back, but she hopes that he will carry her in his heart and return to her someday. "I was thinking about how much we, as artists and musicians, give to our craft. We sacrifice for it. We give up people, home, stability. We choose this life-or perhaps it chooses us. It calls us to the road, and we have to go."

Lyrics

Chorus:
Ramblin' man, keep on rambling
Keep on chasing that dream
Ramblin' man, keep on rambling
And ramble back to me

Verse 1:
You're always on the run
I wanna hold you down, but I don't wanna hold you down
I just want you
You're always heading on
And then you're long gone
Yeah, you're long gone with the dawn

Pre-Chorus:
I'd never want to keep you from running your race but
Can I come along?
I'd never want to hold you back, but can I
come along?

Chorus:
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
Keep on chasing that dream
Ramblin' man, keep on seeking
Whatever you need
Ramblin' man, I see the light in your eyes
When you look on that horizon and the sky
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
and ramble back to me

Verse 2:
I'm always meeting strangers passing through
they try to get to me, but my heart is off with you
I'm on a high, just thinking 'bout when you'll roll back in
and sweep me off my feet again

Pre-Chorus 2:
I could never ask you to change
I could never ask you to alter your pace
I couldn't ask you to give up anything
cause I know it's what you need
but don't forget me

Chorus:
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
Keep on chasing that dream
Ramblin' man, keep on seeking
Whatever you need
Ramblin' man, I see the light in your eyes
When you look on that horizon and the sky
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
and ramble back to me

Bridge:
oo, I'd love to see the world with you
oo, could you take me somewhere new
somewhere new to you
oo, let's discover all this world has to give
let's live

Chorus:
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
Keep on chasing that dream
Ramblin' man, keep on seeking
Whatever you need
Ramblin' man, I see the light in your eyes
When you look on that horizon and the sky
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
and ramble back to me

Coda:
Ramblin' man, keep on ramblin
and ramble back to me
