I’m A Drifter

Lyrics

I sat in the shade of your old apple orchard
 I watch your big trucks rolling by now
 I share the 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
 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
 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 ship sailing out of your harbours
 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 saying
 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
