Im a drifter, l'm a loner
And I've seen every city and town
Ill pass by here and I'll die here
And some stranger will lower me down
I've sat in the shade of an oId apple orchard
Watched the big trucks rollin' by
Shared a grape soda with a man from Dakota
And seen a June bug in July
Im a drifter...
Ive played basketball through the hoop of a barrel
Struggled to learn how to swim
Though I sometimes think maybe I once was a baby
I only pretend I was him
Im a drifter...
Ive made love in your city til the poor and the pretty
Thought I was clever and smart
Ive ended up lonely with nothin but only
A song and a half of a heart
Im a drifter, l'm a loner
And I've seen every city and town
Ill pass by here and I'll die here
And some stranger will lower me
Stranger will lower me down
