Little River Band - Drifter Lyrics
I'm just a drifter, movin' around from day to dayI live out on the highway and sleep down in the subway when it rainsThere once was a city girl who longed to love and hold me every nightBut I had to run away and leave her to live my own lifeI know the down and out, I've seen the way the people liveAnd I once had a doubt that maybe there was more we all could giveThen I got older and the wine and life lay heavy on my mindAnd I'm not much wiser now, but thinkin' about it helps to pass the timeI'm a drifterBeen up, I've been down, I've been pushed around, still a drifterBeen got at 'n' fell flat and come back every timeNo luck at the table, I've never been able to hang on to a dimeStill I find there's love in this heart of mine, oowNow I'm on the back-streets, down with the beggars and the thievesAnd I've seen the ladies who just lay about the city when it breathesI long to be settled down, but know I'll keep on movin' 'til I dieAnd I never had a friend, I only caught the winkin' in her eyeOow, I'm a drifterKeep on, keep on driftin'Always be a drifter
