A Drifter Till I Die

I was born with wanderlust,
There's nothing wrong with that-
The place I'm known, to call my home,
Is where I hang my hat.

I've been a lot of places-
I've seen a lot of sights.
And I've known a lot of dreary days,
A lot of lonely nights.

I'd have to say it's worth it-
The price is not too high...
I'll hitch my wagon to a star-
Beneath that western sky.

I'll travel round the country-
With my bag and my guitar.
Drinking coffee from a can-
Beside my roadside fire.

I doubt you'll ever tame me-
No need to even try...
I'll spend my life out on the road-
A drifter till I die.

Ah, to be so free costs so little and Lord knows we pay the price not movin' on. Enjoyed
