I’m A Drifter – Vince Martin & Fred Neil

I’m a drifter, I’m a loner
And I’ve seen every city and town
I’ll pass by here and I’ll die here
And some stranger will lower me down

I’ve sat in the shade
Of an old apple orchard
Watched the big trucks rollin’ by
Shared a grape soda
With a man from Dakota
And seen a June bug in July

I’m a drifter…

I’ve played basketball
Through the hoop of a barrel
Struggled to learn how to swim
Through I sometimes think maybe
I once was a baby
I only pretend I was him

I’m a drifter…

I’m made love in your city
Till the poor and the pretty
Thought I was clever and smart
I’ve ended up lonely
With nothin’ but only
A song and a half of a heart

I’m a drifter, I’m a loner
And I’ve seen every city and town
I’ll pass by here and I’ll die here
And some stranger will lower me down
Stranger will lower me down
