I'm A Drifter

You knew I could not stay for long When you asked me to come over In the wee hours of the mornin' I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin' And that is why I've givin' you fair warnin' And though you might have loved me Like I never ever have been loved before Your front door is open and I've got to keep on movin' So I will stay with you a while And then I'll let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna Because I've got to keep on searchin' for the dream That I've been seekin' since I left my home in Oklahoma And who's to say, but that I might be back tomorrow If I find there's only sorrow You may see me from your windowsill, next mornin' I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain The pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town, searchin' all around Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow And if the answer is you, then I'll be back tomorrow Let's make the most of time before the break of day But don't try to make me stay, if I don't want to Because I've got to keep on searchin' for that dream And you can't bind me with the simple words "I love you" But if I realize the dream that I've been searchin' for Is waitin' here behind your door Then I'll come back to stay, if you still want me to I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain The pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town, searchin' all around Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow And if the answer is you, then I'll be back tomorrow I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain The pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town, searchin' all around
