First Drafts of Rock: “Ramblin’ Man” by The Allman Brothers Band (w/ Kevin Bacon) | The Tonight Show

First Drafts of Rock takes a look at the original version of “Ramblin’ Man” (featuring Kevin Bacon and Jimmy Fallon). Lyrics below: KEVIN Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man I’m tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus I was born a ramblin’ man Like I said, I was born in a Greyhound The people on the bus were like, “Hey, what’s that noise?” And some guy yelled, “I think that a lady’s giving birth. In the back seat of this Greyhound bus.” The bus driver screamed, “Wait, should I pull over?” A few people on board said, “No, just drive.” But a couple other people said, “You gotta park this bus.” The driver did not park the bus JIMMY I knew you were born a ramblin’ man But I didn’t know about the bus birth ’til just now I’d kinda prefer we sing about something else But I’m also weirdly curious (KEVIN) If you’ve got a question you can ask it (KEVIN) I’ll try to remember the details
