I sat in the shade of your old apple orchard   I watch your big trucks rolling by now   I share the grape soda with a man from Dakota   I've seen a June bug in July now      I'm a drifter, I'm a loner   I've seen every city and town now   I pass by here and I'll die here   Some stranger will lower me down      I play basketball through the hoop of a barrel   I struggle to learn how to swim now   I used to think maybe I once was a baby   I only pretend I was him now   I only pretend I was him now      I'm a drifter, I'm a loner   I've seen every city and town now   I pass by here and I'll die here   Some stranger will lower me down, yeah      I envy the ship sailing out of your harbours   I swap dirty jokes with your butchers and barbers   I think silent thoughts while the jukebox is playing   And all of the time my own heart is saying      You're a drifter, you're a loner   You've seen every city and town now   You pass by here and you'll die here   Some stranger will lower you down, yeah
