David Gates Drifter Lyrics

Drifter Lyrics

I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea



Goin' where the currents take me



And I don't think I'll ever come to rest



'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean



I've kinda got to where I like the motion



Things are gonna work out for the best







I know you want me to stay



And honey I'd sure like to see it your way



'Cause you're the best I've ever had of late



But somethin' stronger than love somehow



Has got me restless and I gotta go now



But I'll be back this way if you care to wait







I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea



Goin' where the currents take me



And I don't think I'll ever come to rest



'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean



I've kinda got to where I like the motion



Hopin' things are gonna work out for



the best



I keep hopin' to find



A settledown place and a peaceful mind



Wonderin' if it's just around the bend



'Cause with all the things I wanna do



and see



You gotta be a millionaire of broke like me



Walkin' down this road that's got no end.



I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea



Goin' where the currents take me



And I don't think I'll ever come to rest



'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean



I've kinda got to where I like the motion



Hopin' things are gonna work out for



the best
