The Drifter

I sat in the shade of your old apple orchard I watch your big trucks rolling by now I share the grape soda with a man from Dakota I've seen a June bug in July now I'm a drifter, I'm a loner I've seen every city and town now I pass by here and I'll die here Some stranger will lower me down, yeah I play basketball through the hoop of a barrel I struggle to learn how to swim now I used to think maybe I once was a baby I only pretend I was him now I only pretend I was him now I'm a drifter, I'm a loner I've seen every city and town now I pass by here and I'll die here Some stranger will lower me down, yeah I envy the ship sailing out of your harbours I swap dirty jokes with your butchers and barbers I think silent thoughts while the jukebox is playing And all of the time my own heart is saying You're a drifter, you're a loner You've seen every city and town now You pass by here and you'll die here Some stranger will lower you down, yeah
