The Drifter Songtext
von George Demure

I′m just a drifter
I go from place to place
I'm just a drifter
Nobody knows my face

Whenever I enter a town
People there they put me down
They say "Hey, drifter, go away
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 own
I'm just a drifter
Out in this world alone


I see lovers passing me by
I watch them with a tear in my eye
I can′t help thinking how lucky they are
Laughing and talking as they go walking

And at night
Stars are bright
I see your face before me
It brings back a memory
Of days gone by
Of you and I
And then I cry, oh, how I cry

I′m just a drifter
I go from town to town
I'm just a drifter
My life was not always downtown

Once I had a girl by my side
We had a love that money couldn′t buy
Then heaven called and took her away
Out of my arms and left me to wonder
