You can’t help it, you’re a rambler. You don’t have time to get bogged down in long-term relationships when the road is calling. Effortless swagger and endless charm come so naturally that you hardly notice when you’ve won yet another admirer destined to get hurt along the way. Whether you’re a modern-day cowboy or just an archetypal loner, there’s a song for your restless ways.
