Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm coming down the line
I'm a rattling boy
(He's a rattling boy)
Rattling through the countryside
I'm a rattling boy
(He's a rattling boy)
Yeah, I just live from day to day
I'm a rattling boy
(He's a rattling boy)
Eating them, cheating them, on my way
I'm a rattling boy
(He's a rattling boy)

[Chorus]
I'm going down the line
I'm going to a better time
I'm going to a better place
I don't like people to know my face
I can help get those feet out of that clay
But I can't take you all the way

I'm as stationary as a stream
I am aimless in extreme

[Verse 2]
I hold what I need in my right hand
I'm a rattling boy
(He's a rattling boy)
I do the work my gut demands
I'm a rattling boy
(He's a rattling boy)

[Chorus]
I'm going down the line
I'm going to a better time
I'm going to a better place
I don't like people to know my face
I can help get those feet out of that clay
But I can't take you all the way

[Bridge]
If I could hold you
If I could love you
Then I would do

[Chorus]
I can help get those feet out of that clay
But I can't take you all the way
Cause I'm a rattling boy
I'm a rattling boy
Rattling boy
I'm a rattling boy

Rattling boy, rattling boy
I can't take you all the way
Rattling boy, rattling boy
I can't take you all the way
Rattling boy, rattling boy
I can't take you all the way
Rattling boy, rattling boy
I won't take you all the way
