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, put me down,
they say, hey drifter go way, don't want your kind around,
so I go my way, back to the highway,
I'm just a drifter,
no place to call my home,
I'm just a drifter,
out in this world alone,
I see lovers, pass me by,
I watch them all, with a tear in my eye,
I can't help thinking, how lucky they are,
laughin' and talking, as they go walkin',
and at night, stars are bright,
I see your face before me,
it bring back a memory,
of days gone bye, of you and I,
and then I cry, oh how I cry, wooah
I'm just a drifter,
I go from town to town,
I'm just a drifter,
but I wasn't always down,
cos' once I had, a girl by my side,
a love so strong, that, money couldn't buy, no no no,
but heaven called, and took her away,
out of my arms and left me to wander,
I'm just a drifter,
I go from town to town.
