The Drifter Lyrics

The Drifter lyrics

I sat in the shade of your old apple orchard

I watch your big trucks
rolling by now

I share the grape soda with a man from Dakota

I've
seen a June bug in July now



I'm a drifter, I'm a loner

I've
seen every city and town now

I pass by here and I'll die here

Some
stranger will lower me down



I play basketball through the hoop of
a barrel

I struggle to learn how to swim now

I used to think maybe
I once was a baby

I only pretend I was him now

I only pretend I was
him now



I'm a drifter, I'm a loner

I've seen every city and
town now

I pass by here and I'll die here

Some stranger will lower
me down, yeah



I envy the ship sailing out of your harbours

I
swap dirty jokes with your butchers and barbers

I think silent thoughts
while the jukebox is playing

And all of the time my own heart is
saying



You're a drifter, you're a loner

You've seen every
city and town now

You pass by here and you'll die here

Some
stranger will lower you down, yeah
