Drifter

He walks alone

In the blanket of night

His leather dragging on the ground

Drift from town to town

Nowhere wrong, nowhere right

Collecting what he needs from what he’s found

Everyday

Is another day

And the drifters road

Has got footprints every way

Stories are his gold

With a silver tongue they’re told

Hanging on his every single word

People sit in wonder

Some are young some are old

Amazed at what was said, believing what was heard

Everyday is another day

And the drifters road takes you every way

So i asked him can I come along

Walking free out there is where I belong

And he said

Your choice is nothin but your own

Yeah he said

You blink your eyes I might be gone

You’ll be left out on the road

Ten years go by

I walk upon familiar grounds

Stories that I heard I mine to share

Pieces of a younger

Step out from the crowd

Asking can I take him anywhere

Everyday is another day

And the drifters road takes you every way

So he asked me can I come along

Walking free out there is where i belong

And I said

Your choice is nothin but your own

Yeah I said

You blink your eyes I might be gone

And you’ll be left out on the road
