Lyrics for Drifter

I was born a rambling man An' I never got the chance To settle down an' get a hold on love Takin' air an' movin' around Is all I can see that I'm doin' An' it is bringin' me down Drivin' on a highway going nowhere Desolation destination Guess I'll find it somewhere I know if there's trouble I ain't takin' the blame That's why I keep movin' So nobody knows my name Born a loser I'm beyond the law Women behind me Never can find me They can never get together What I've been here for Cos I'm a drifter Rollin' on Ain't wastin' my time no more
