Drifters Wife (j J Cale) Lyrics

Had me a woman down in Tennessee

 Oh she used to love me

 Free fever got me and I had to go

 I never seen that woman no more

 

 New York City is a place I been

 I was there one time with a travellin' band

 Young girl there wanted me to stay

 I think she wanted me to play

 

 Roll it out, roll it in

 Here we go down the road again

 Drifters life is a drifters wife

 Don't say I didn't tell you so

 

 Travellin' man now he don't know

 Only what he hears on the radio

 Politics and money don't bother him

 Only good lookin' women and a bottle of gin

 

 Portland, Oregon, to the Mexican line

 Boy let me tell you the women are fine

 If you don't hang around there very long

 They'll never ever know you're gone
