Get outta town   Get outta town   Get outta town   Get out now!      Get outta town, get outta town   This town's sick of me hanging around   I drifted through my life , I drifted through town   But when I left this wife, this was the road that I found   All of my life, everyday   Alone on the road, I don't know my way   I just stay, make a mess, I never clean up   'Cause I'm moving on, alone on the road      Drifters raus, get out of the house   When they start to shout, I know to raus   Drifters raus, get outta the house   Get outta the house      I was stopped by the Mounties in the very next county   They knew nothing about me, so they chose to doubt me   A vagrancy charge would make my life really hard   So to stay out of jail, I took this job   So I worked on a farm for six months or more   I worked in the dust and I worked in the storms   Tripped over a lantern late one night in the barn   Couldn't pump enough water to save that old man's farm      I don't wipe my feet and I never unpack   When I'm leaving here, I'm never coming back   I never count the checks that I bounce   By the time that they're found, I'm headed south   To the next little town, where I throw it down   Have it my way or I hit the highway   'Cause I got a name and I got a song   And I couldn't care if I'm playing it wrong      I told my horse to "whoa" but they said "Drifters raus"
