Been a Drifter Songtext
von Will Beeley

I′ve been cold on a time or two
As cold as I can remember when
It's more than just the homesick gnawing at my soul
Guess I′ll just pull my collar up and head off into the wind
I can't remember ever being this cold

I've been a drifter, I′ve been a hobo
A car salesman and a tramp
I′ve been up on Knife Hill and I've been flat on my back
I′ve been hungry and tired and colder than January
Surprises me from time to time that I haven't been buried


I′m gonna head off to the depot, catch the first thing smoking
Need a Texas lullaby and a goodnight kiss
The cotton fields and silk dresses, ladies just never seem to miss
Them Dallas cowgirls, they're good at teaching you this

I′ve been a drifter, I've been a hobo
A car salesman and a tramp
I've been up on Knife Hill and I′ve been flat on my back
I′ve been hungry and tired and colder than January
Surprises me from time to time that I haven't been buried

I′ve been a drifter, I've been a hobo
A car salesman and a tramp
I′ve been up on Knife Hill and I've been flat on my back
I′ve been hungry and tired and colder than January
Surprises me from time to time that I haven't been buried
Surprises me from time to time that I haven't been buried
