Story Behind The Song
Rust Belt Jessie got pregnant, and started thinking about what life would be like after she'd had her baby. She knew that she wouldn't be able to travel alone so much anymore, but she also knew she'd always have the travel itch. So she wrote a song about travelin' side-by-side with someone you love.

Lyrics
'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Yeah, I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Well, you know I need to leave
But it's not cos I like to be apart
Before I knew you, baby, I used to ramble all alone
Before I knew you, honey, I used to ramble all alone
Still gotta ramble, darlin'
But would you like to come along?
Cos I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Yeah, I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Well, you know I need to leave
But it's not cos I like to be apart
Just like the wind blows, I gotta move along
Just like the wind blows, I gotta move along
I want you moving with me, baby
That's why I'm singing you this song
Cos I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Yeah, I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Well, you know I need to leave
But it's not cos I like to be apart
Well, I love you baby, now that is plain to see
Yeah, I love you honey, now that is plain to see
And if you feel the same, sugar
Please come and ramble with me
Cos I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Yeah, I'm a restless mama, got a freight train heart
Well, you know I need to leave
But it's not cos I like to be apart
Yeah, you know I need to leave
But it's not cos I like to be apart
