There's a feeling way down in my bones

When I know I've stayed much too long

And I see the questions in her eyes

Never was much good with goodbyes

But on a cold, rainy night I'll remember

And I know I'll wish I had stayed

Drifter

One ole dollar bill won't get a lot,

You tighten up your belt another notch

But you know the times are kind of hard

When it comes down to pawning your guitar

But something's bound to come along tomorrow

It don't take much to get you by

Drifter

Drifter

You tried your hand in them cotton fields down south

You finally get your pay and head on out

And that night you lose it all on a queen of spades

But it ain't win or lose-it's how you play

But there's a blue northern coming on again

And that old denim coat is mighty thin

Where you gonna spend the winter

Drifter
