@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I can settle down and be doin' just fine
'Til I hear an old train rollin' down the line
Then I hurry straight home and pack
And if I didn't go
I believe I blow my stack
I love you baby
But you must understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man
Some folks might say that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I could
But when that open road starts to calling me
There's something over the hill that I gotta see
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man
I love to see the towns crawling by
And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky
Let me travel this land
From the mountains to the sea
For that's the life
I believe he meant for me
And when I'm gone
And at my grave you stand
Just say God's called home your ramblin' man
'Til I hear an old train rollin' down the line
Then I hurry straight home and pack
And if I didn't go
I believe I blow my stack
I love you baby
But you must understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man
Some folks might say that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I could
But when that open road starts to calling me
There's something over the hill that I gotta see
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man
I love to see the towns crawling by
And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky
Let me travel this land
From the mountains to the sea
For that's the life
I believe he meant for me
And when I'm gone
And at my grave you stand
Just say God's called home your ramblin' man
