I’m a[Dm] drifte[C]r, l'm a[F] lon[G]er
And I've s[Dm]een every c[C]ity and to[F]wn [G]
I’ll [Dm]pass by[C] here and I'll[F] die [G]here
And some st[Dm]ranger will l[C]ower me do[Dm]wn [C] [F] [G]

I've [Dm]sat in the sha[C]de of an o[F]Id apple or[G]chard
Wa[Dm]tched the big tr[C]ucks rollin' b[F]y [G]
Sh[Dm]ared a grape so[C]da with a ma[F]n from Dak[G]ota
And s[Dm7]een a Ju[G6]ne bug in J[Dm]uly [C] [F] [G]

I’m a drifter...
I’v[Dm]e played baske[C]tball through the[F] hoop of a [G]barrel
S[Dm]truggled to le[C]arn how to s[F]wim [G]
Though I s[Dm]ometimes think m[C]aybe I o[F]nce was a b[G]aby
I onl[Dm7]y preten[G6]d I was him[Dm] [C] [F] [G]

I’m a drifter...

I’ve mad[Dm]e love in your[C] city til the[F] poor and the[G] pretty
Thoug[Dm]ht I was cleve[C]r and smar[F]t [G]
I’v[Dm]e ended up lon[C]ely with n[F]othin’ bu[G]t only
A son[Dm7]g and a [G6]half of a h[Dm]eart[C] [F] [G]

I’m a[Dm] drifte[C]r, l'm a[F] lon[G]er
And I've s[Dm]een every c[C]ity and to[F]wn [G]
I’ll [Dm]pass by[C] here and I'll[F] die [G]here
And some st[Dm]ranger will l[C]ower me [F] [G]
[Dm]Stranger will lo[C]wer me do[Dm]wn
