Daddy shipped to Saigon in 63
Saw more than he ever wanted to see
So travelin' the globe was a no for him
He got back home and never roamed again

I grew up on a dusty road
A mamas boy with a poets soul
I wasn't scared of nothin' 'cept not bein' free
I wanna cover the earth til its coverin' me

I wanna fly out into that wild blue
I wanna come home high and tell a tale or two
Of all the wonders that I've seen
I wanna cover the earth til its coverin' me
Til its coverin' me

Carolina will always be my home
But there's planes to catch and there's room to roam
And I'm a little more restless than some might be
I wanna cover the earth til its coverin' me

I wanna fly out into that wild blue
I wanna come home high and tell a tale or two
Of all the wonders that I've seen
I wanna cover the earth til its coverin' me
Til its coverin' me

Yeah, and I know why the rambler rambles on
Aw, cause one day we're here and the next day gone
Learnin' what that next life brings
I wanna cover the earth til its coverin' me
Til its coverin' me

Til its coverin' me...
