I'm a drifter, lonesome drifter   Got no place to call my home no more   I'm a wanderer, lonesome wanderer   Got no one to call my own no more      Got no strings to tie me down   Got no cause to hang around   What difference does it make which way I go   Got an empty feelin' down inside   Still I need to stay alive   Who can tell what waits beyond this road   I'm a drifter, lonesome drifter   Got no one to call my own no more      Got no strings to tie me down   Got no cause to hang around   What difference does it make which way I go   Got an empty feelin' deep inside   Still I need to stay alive   And who can tell what waits beyond this road   I'm a drifter, lonesome drifter   Got no one to call my own no more      Got no one to call my own no more
