Drifter
I've always kept a suitcase packed
Just in case the ol blacktop came a'callin I'd be all in, good-bye never lookin back
All I needed was a reason neither good nor bad
Just something to keep me in steady motion anytime I got the notion
I'd take off into a red sunset driving all night long
It didn't matter what was up ahead I was goin, goin, gone
I'm a drifter
I'm a natural born four on the floor gear shifter
Never had a choice the good Lord made me this way
And I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a drifter
But you make me wanna stay
Now it's goodbye lonely midnight highway and neon sign motels
And the people and other places all along those dusty trails
With you I'm stepping way out there into the great unknown
Now here goes nothing baby I'm goin, goin, gone
I'm a drifter
I'm a natural born four on the floor gear shifter
Never had a choice the good Lord made me this way
And I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a drifter
But you make me wanna stay
Sometimes at night I see those headlights
Shining like lightning coming thru the blinds
And I think about the road and I know
Wherever we're going, it's good to be home
I'm a drifter
I'm a natural born four on the floor gear shifter
Never had a choice the good Lord made me this way
And I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a drifter
But you make me wanna stay
Wanna stay yeah
Oh... yeah!

And I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a drifter
But you make me wanna stay
Wanna stay yeah
Oh... yeah!
