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
Shinin' through the window-pane
She said "I wanna see you again,
But I'm stuck in colder weather.
And maybe tomorrow will be better.
She said, "You′re a ramblin′ man.
And you ain't never gonna change.
Got a gypsie soul to blame
And you were born for leaving."
At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
The night was black as the coffee he was drinkin′
And in the waitress's eyes he sees
The same ol′ light is shinin'
And the girl he left behind him
Said, "I wanna see you again,
But I′m stuck in colder weather.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
She said, "You're a ramblin' man,
(And you ain′t never gonna change)
But I ain′t never gonna change.
(Got a gypsie soul to blame)
And I was born for leavin'
When we're in the lost and found.
You′re lover; I'm a runner.
And I love you but I leave you.
I don't want you but I need you.
I know it′s you who calls me back here, baby.
When I close my eyes I see you
I can smell your perfume through those whisperin′ pines
I'm with your ghost again
And it′s a shame about the weather
But I know that soon we'll be together
And I can′t wait 'til then
