lyrics

The Drifter

I was headin’ for Denver—tryin’ to change my luck
Everything that I owned I had ---in a pickup truck
That’s when I first saw her
In a small town café
Who’d ever thought I’d still be living here today

Cause I was always dreamin’ of the clear blue skies above us
And her eyes were the color of the solid earth below
And how we stayed together through all kinds of weather
I guess God only knows
Cause I was a drifter and she brought me home

I was a stranger—just passin’ through
And she was a hometown girl—that everyone knew
I was tired of driftin’—it’s just another town
Had my head in the clouds/—she was flat on the ground

Cause I was always dreamin’ of the clear blue skies above us
And her eyes were the color of the solid earth below
And how we stayed together through all kinds of weather
I guess God only knows
Cause I was a drifter and she brought me home

Just like a leaf that’s caught ---in a storm blown wind
Too many storms came thro-ugh—so I could never begin
To find some--body—yeah a girl like you
Cause when you took my hand—that’s when the sun broke through

Cause I was always dreamin’ of the clear blue skies above us
And her eyes were the color of the solid earth below
And how we stayed together through all kinds of weather
I guess God only knows
Cause I was a drifter and she brought me home

A-ha-ha-ah-ah
Wo-ho-oh-ho-oh
