The Drifter

I’m just a drifter
I go from place to place
I’m just a drifter
Nobody knows my face
And when I go into a town
The people there they try and put me down
They say hey drifter
We don’t want your kind around
So I go my way
Back to the highway
I’m just a drifter
Out in this world alone
I’m just a drifter
No place to call my home
I see lovers pass me by
I watch them all with a tear in my eye
I can’t help feelin' how lucky they are
Laughin' and talkin' as they go walkin'
And then at night
Stars are so bright
I see your face before me
It brings back the memory
Of days gone by
Of a you and I
And then I cry
Woe how I cry
Oh I’m just a drifter
I go from town to town
I’m just a drifter
But I wasn’t always down
'Cause once I had a love by my side
A love so strong that money couldn’t buy
But heaven called and took her away
Out of my arms and led me to wander
I’m just a drifter
I go from town to town
I’m just a drifter
But I wasn’t always down
I’m just a drifter
I go from town…
