Iâm a drifter, l m a loner
And I ve seen every city and town
Iâll pass by here and I ll die here
And some stranger will lower me down
I ve sat in the shade of an oId apple orchard
Watched the big trucks rollin by
Shared a grape soda with a man from Dakota
And seen a June bug in July
Iâm a drifter...
Iâve 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
Iâm a drifter...
Iâve made love in your city til the poor and the pretty
Thought I was clever and smart
Iâve ended up lonely with nothinâ but only
A song and a half of a heart
Iâm a drifter, l m a loner
And I ve seen every city and town
Iâll pass by here and I ll die here
And some stranger will lower me
Stranger will lower me down
