The Drifter |
| I’m just a drifter, movin' around from day to day |
| I live out on the highway and sleep down in the subway when it rains |
| There once was a city girl who longed to love and hold me every night |
| But I had to run away and leave her to live my own life |
| I know the down and out, I’ve seen the way the people live |
| And I once had a doubt that maybe there was more we all could give |
| Then I got older and the wine and life lay heavy on my mind |
| And I’m not much wiser now, but thinkin' about it helps to pass the time |
| I’m a drifter |
| Been up, I’ve been down, I’ve been pushed around, still a drifter |
| Been got at 'n' fell flat and come back every time |
| No luck at the table, I’ve never been able to hang on to a dime |
| Still I find there’s love in this heart of mine, oow |
| Now I’m on the back-streets, down with the beggars and the thieves |
| And I’ve seen the ladies who just lay about the city when it breathes |
| I long to be settled down, but know I’ll keep on movin' 'til I die |
| And I never had a friend, I only caught the winkin' in her eye |
| Oow, I’m a drifter |
| Keep on, keep on driftin' |
| Always be a drifter |
