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 Ive givin you fair warnin.
And though you might have loved me like I never ever have been
loved before your front door is open
and Ive got to keep on movin.
So I will stay with you a while and then Ill
let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna.
Because Ive got to keep on searchin for the dream that Ive been seekin
since I left my home in Oklahoma
And whos to say but that I might not be back tomorrow
if I find theres only sorrow you may see me from your windowsill
next mornin
Im a drifter and Ive seen the rain.
Im a drifter and Ive 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 Ill be back tomorrow.
Lets make the most of time before the break of day
but dont try to make me stay if I dont want to.
Because Ive got to keep on searchin for that dream
and you cant bind me with the simple words I love you.
But if I realize the dream that Ive been searchin for
is waitin here behind your door
then Ill come back to stay if you still want me to.
Im a drifter and Ive seen the rain
Im a drifter and Ive 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 Ill be back tomorrow.
Im a drifter and Ive seen the rain
Im a drifter and Ive felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness.
So I drift from town to town searchin all around
Lookin for the ans
