Little River Band - The Drifter lyrics

I'm just a drifter, movin' around from day to day I live out on the highway and sleep down in the subway when it rains There once was a city girl who longed to love and hold me every night But I had to run away and leave her to live my own life I know the down and out, I've seen the way the people live And I once had a doubt that maybe there was more we all could give Then I got older and the wine and life lay heavy on my mind And I'm not much wiser now, but thinkin' about it helps to pa** the time I'm a drifter Been up, I've been down, I've been pushed around, still a drifter Been got at 'n' fell flat and come back every time No luck at the table, I've never been able to hang on to a dime Still I find there's love in this heart of mine, oow Now I'm on the back-streets, down with the beggars and the thieves And I've seen the ladies who just lay about the city when it breathes I long to be settled down, but know I'll keep on movin' 'til I die And I never had a friend, I only caught the winkin' in her eye Oow, I'm a drifter Keep on, keep on driftin' Always be a drifter
