Drifter by The Lamms


VERSE 1:

Am
He's not in love he looks for no one
Been following the road for so long
He passes through and then he moves on

F          Am        G
The drifter leaves no trace
He moves from place to place

VERSE 2:

Am
The desert road can last forever
Twisting turning like the weather
Nothing makes this road feel better

F          Am        G
Than another cigarette
He never would forget
                      A
He's a man who drifts alone

VERSE 3:

He's a guy who thinks and listens
Measuring his thoughts and feelings
His few words resound with meaning

The drifter played his hand
It was in another land

VERSE 4:

The radio kicks out his music
He listens cos he's scared he'll loose it
The tracks are memories he chooses

They keep him moving on
Keep him driving through the storm
He's just moving to move on

VERSE 5:

The devil rides a long black freight train
It growls along beside the freeway
The drifter sees it from his window

He turns his music loud
His eyes begin to cloud

VERSE 6:

The drifter looks to the horizon
The unstoppable collision
This has been his only mission

To break the drifter's curse
For better or for worse
She dealt him out a hand
He took it as he planned
