I am a Drifter – Volume Five
[Verse]
CI am a drifter / And I'm here tonight
But if it's alriFght I'll stay until the morningC  
And I'm bound to jourCney / Cuz' that's who I am
So understand FI might leave without a warnin'
Oh  GI               aFm  /        I am a drCifter
[Verse]
CWell I've met some rounders / Who did me wrong
I've written sFongs about the way they huCrt me
CAnd I've helped some angels / Who felt betrayed
Cause I hFave made the choice to be unworthy
Oh GI F​am / I am a Cdrifter
[Bridge]
There's a gDmypsy voice I heaFr / Telling mCe to move onG  
A restless feDmelin' in my boFnes / Before I know Cit I'm up and goneG  
[Verse]
I'Cve seen the country / From shore to shore
And I've Fexplored the dCeserts and the mountains
My hCome's the highway / And it's everywhere
I'm nevFer scared of the miles that I'm not countin'
Oh GI aFm / I am a dCrifter
