Lyrics Drifter - The Country Soul Revue, Tony Joe White

Drifter

There’s a feeling way down in my bones\nWhen I know I’ve stayed much too long\nAnd I see the questions in her eyes\nNever was much good with goodbyes\nBut on a cold, rainy night I’ll remember\nAnd I know I’ll wish I had stayed\nDrifter\nOne ole dollar bill won’t get a lot\nTighten up your belt another notch\nBut you know the times are kind of hard\nWhen it comes down to pawning your guitar\nBut something’s bound to come along tomorrow\nIt don’t take much to get you by\nDrifter\nDrifter\nYou tried your hand in them cotton fields down south\nYou finally get your pay and head on out\nAnd that night you lose it all on a queen of spades\nBut it ain’t win or lose-it's how you play\nBut there’s a blue northern coming on again\nAnd that old denim coat is mighty thin\nWhere you gonna spend the winter\nDrifter
