The Last Of The Drifters |
I’m the last of the babies of the World War 2 |
World War 2 and that’s the one we didn’t lose, I heard that |
I was raised on biscuits, Spam and powdered eggs |
DiMaggio’s baseball and Marilyn’s legs |
And I’m the last of the drifters |
Last of the drifters, yeah |
I remember when the great train, they used to run on coal |
And they would run on coal and I would be ready to go, me too |
Old white shirt and a tired overall |
Sometime I think my daddy knew it all |
And I’m the last of the drifters |
Last of the drifters, yeah |
I remember Louisiana in a hot steamy night |
Hot steamy night and she was holding me tight |
An old red Chevy with a big back seat |
I had me some two tall shoes off my feet |
Okay, I’m the last of the drifters |
Last of the drifters, yeah |
I’m a world war baby holding mama’s hand |
Mama’s hand and how my daddy knew the land |
Truck bearin' music and poverty and wealth |
I got some great big scars on myself |
Now I’m the last of the drifters |
Last of the drifters, yeah |
I’m the last tie roller with the last good hand |
Last good hand and I’m a gambling man |
All them bombs and people wakin' on that boom |
Sometimes I reckon I got here too soon |
I’m the last of the drifters |
I’m the last of the drifters, yeah |
I’m the last of the drifters |
Last of the drifters |
