Driftin' Way of Life |
| I’m singing about a driftin' way of life |
| Yes it’s different from the many that I’ve known |
| Yeah and everyday you’re bound to walk |
| A strange new road by myself |
| I keep living it right or wrong |
| Now I hop a train about a 100 thousand miles |
| Yeah and I’ve had good luck |
| And I’ve lived in different styles |
| Yeah but all the folks |
| No matter what place or age |
| Have tried to put me like a free bird in a cage |
| Well I keep singing about a driftin' way of life |
| Now I’ve tied some knots |
| With my friends I’d hate to lose |
| I say we’re friends because we give the right to choose |
| But things get tight when your friends get out of place |
| And try to change your big hat |
| Or shape of face |
| So I keep singing about the driftin' way of life |
| Now in my mind |
| You know I thought of settling down |
| To stop my roaming |
| Forget this banging around |
| But to live my life among groups everyday |
| Will either change me |
| Or send me down the way |
| And as it stands I’m never down-and-out too long |
| 'Cause I can kiss the blues goodbye with every song |
| Yeah and I’m living my life |
| As it feels to me right now (walk on boy) |
| 'Cause there ain’t nothing in this world |
| Gonna hold me down |
| Yeah I keep singing 'bout the driftin' way of life |
