Im A Drifter
Bobby Goldsboro
I’m A Drifter Bobby Goldsboro [Intro] [Verse 1] You knew I could not stay for long when you asked me To come over in the wee hours of the mornin’ I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin’ And that is why I’ve given you fair warnin’ And though you might have loved me like I never ever Have been loved before your front door is open And I’ve got to keep on movin’ So I will stay with you a while - and then I’ll Let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna Because I’ve got to keep on searchin’ for the dream That I’ve been seekin’- since I left my Ok-la-homa And who’s to say that I might not be back tomorrow If I find there’s only sorrow - You may see me from your Window sill next mornin’ [Chorus] I’m a drifter - and I’ve seen the rain I’m a drifter - and I’ve felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town - searchin’ all around Lookin’ for the answer to my sorrow - And if the answer is you Then I’ll be back to-morrow [Verse 2] Lets make the most of time before the break of day But don’t try to make me stay if I don’t want to Because I’ve got to keep on searchin’ for that dream and you can’t bind me with the simple words I love you But if I realize the dream that I’ve been searchin’ for is Waitin’ here behind your door Then I’ll come back to stay if you still want me too [Chorus] I’m a drifter - and I’ve seen the rain I’m a drifter - and I’ve felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town - searchin’ all around Lookin’ for the answer to my sorrow - And if the answer is you Then I’ll be back to-morrow [Chorus] I’m a drifter - and I’ve seen the rain I’m a drifter - and I’ve felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness So I drift from town to town - searchin’ all around Lookin’ for the answer to my sorrow - And if the answer is you Then I’ll be back to-morrow
