I'm gonna quit ramblin', gamblin',
stayin' up late at night
I'm gonna go home where I belong
and I'm gonna act right
Today I got a letter from my wife
and her lawyer friend
They said they'd know
everything I've been doin'
And they know every place
that I've been
They even had a bunch of pictures of me
on the dance hall floor
Then it went on to say if I didn't act right
they could dig up a little bit more
Well I'm gonna quit ramblin',
gamblin',
stayin' out late at night
I'm gonna go home where I belong
and I'm gonna act right
Well, I turned the page right nervously
and slowly took a peek
Well, the money that they had me for
I'd have to work a ten -day week
Well, it ain't that I'm a coward
You know I've always been pretty tough
But honey, you know I still love you
How come you wanna play so rough?
I'm gonna quit ramblin', gamblin',
stayin' out late at night
I'm gonna go home where I belong
and I'm gonna act right
I'm gonna quit ramblin', gamblin',
stayin' out late at night
I'm gonna go home where I belong
and I'm gonna act right you
