a drifter, I'm a loner
An d I've seen every city and town
I'll pass by here and I'll die here
And some stranger will lower
me down
I've sat in the shade of an
old ap ple orchard
Watched the big trucks rollin' by
Shared a grape soda
with a man from
Dakota
And seen a
June bug in
July
I'm a drifter, I'm a loner
An d I've seen every city and town
I'll pass by here and I'll die here
And some stranger will
lower me down
I 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
I'm a drifter, I'm a loner,
and I've seen every city and town.
I'll pass by here and I'll die here and
some stranger will lower me down.
I've made love in your city to the poor and the pretty,
thought I was clever and smart.
I've ended up lonely with
nothing but only a song
And a half of a heart
I'm a drifter, I'm a loner
And I've seen every city and town
I'll pass by here and I'll die here
And some stranger will lure me
Stranger will lower me down
