lyrics

"The Drifter"
©Tathata Music (ASCAP) • All rights reserved.

VERSE
Get back up, remember your name.
You’re not the kid with the ten-gallon shame.
Not quite found your infinite bliss.
Just the smell of alcohol, blood and piss.

CHORUS
ALL ALONE
UNDER THE OVER-PASSING SKIES
SO HEAVY THE LOAD. HEART AND SOUL
IS ALL I HAVE TODAY TO GIVE.

VERSE
And the indian paintbrush falls
Beside the road – nature calls.
Hope these shoes can take the miles today
I know there’s bread ahead and a place to stay.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
What is goin’ on?
Is this the dusk, or the dawn?
This suffering must end.

1/2 VERSE
I see a rainbow on up ahead.
There’s still some faith and hope in this hard, old head.

REPEAT CHORUS

OUTRO = VERSE/INTRO
