Driftwood On The River Chords & Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

[C]I'm just drift-wood on the river floating [G7]down the tide

I don't care where this old river carries [C]me

I keep drifting just because my heart is [F]broken inside

And I'm [G7]tired of wishing for what can not [C]be

I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost [G7]same as I

Share a hand shake and a tender tear or [C]two

But It's always good luck now we got to [F]say good-bye

I must [G7]wander on to keep my ren[C]dezvous

Though I drift through town and city I can [G7]never stay

For I find no place to call my home sweet [C]home

I don't ask for help or pity I just [F]go my way

All I'm [G7]praying for is peace to dream [C]alone

I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm [G7]drifting on

Till this weary river meets the deep blue [C]sea

Where the deep blue sea may help me to [F]forget someone

Yes the [G7]careless one who has forgotten [C]me

In my heart I don't feel bitter over [G7]what has been

I feel sorry for the one I must [C]forget

And instead of being someone with the [F]world to win

I'm just [G7]drift-wood on the river of [C]regret
