Drifter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm just a drifter
I'll stay until you try to tie me down
I'm not a quitter, baby
I'd like to stay and see the whole thing go down
Don't try to tell me
What I gotta do to fit
Don't try to rescue me
I'm going to go with my ship
[Chorus]
What about you?
Did I ever take a thing from you?
What about me?
How do I know that your love is true?
What about you?
How can I count on you to count on me?
[Verse 2]
I like to drive my car
If I've got someplace to go
I like to feel the wheel
Put down the top and let it roll
Don't try to fence me in
Don't try to slow me down
Don't try to speed me up
Or tie my feet down to the ground
I'm just a drifter
I'll stay until you try to tie me down
I'm not a quitter, baby
I'd like to stay and see the whole thing go down
Don't try to tell me
What I gotta do to fit
Don't try to rescue me
I'm going to go with my ship
[Chorus]
What about you?
Did I ever take a thing from you?
What about me?
How do I know that your love is true?
What about you?
How can I count on you to count on me?
[Verse 2]
I like to drive my car
If I've got someplace to go
I like to feel the wheel
Put down the top and let it roll
Don't try to fence me in
Don't try to slow me down
Don't try to speed me up
Or tie my feet down to the ground
[Chorus]
What about you?
Did I ever take a thing from you?
What about me?
How do I know that your love is true?
What about you?
How can I count on you to count on me?
[Verse 3]
I'm just a drifter
I'll stay until you try to tie me down
Don't try to rescue me
Don't try to rescue me
I like to feel the wheel
I like to feel the wheel
I like to feel the wheel
What about you?
Did I ever take a thing from you?
What about me?
How do I know that your love is true?
What about you?
How can I count on you to count on me?
[Verse 3]
I'm just a drifter
I'll stay until you try to tie me down
Don't try to rescue me
Don't try to rescue me
I like to feel the wheel
I like to feel the wheel
I like to feel the wheel
