Lyrics:

i've been called a rambler
'cause i keep my eyes on that horizon line
and i've been called a gambler
'cause i always wanna let my winnings ride
i've been broke more times than i can count
i've been stuck for days in a lonely town
when my luck ran south

(chorus:)
hey i might be makin' me a reputation
of goin' my own way and
i can't live it down
got the throttle wide open gonna live it up knowin'
in this life you only
get one go around
and i can't live it down

there's times i've wasted money
'cause i know that i can always make more cash
but wasted time is something man
when it's gone you can't get it back
so i'll go on burnin' up both ends
'cause i don't want a whole lot of might've-beens
now that would be a sin

(repeat chorus)

gonna live for place i ain't been
make a lot of good remember-whens
right up to the end

(repeat chorus)
i can't live it down
i can't live it down
