Lyrics

I sat in the shade of your old apple orchard
I watch your big trucks rolling by now
I shared a 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
Well, 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 ships sailin' out of your harbors
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 sayin'
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
