Drifter

(album: Goodbye Girl - 1978)

I'm a drifter floating on the sea
Going where the currents take me
And I don't think I'll ever come to rest
'Cause I'm a drifter floating on the ocean
I've kinda got to where I like the motion
Things are gonna work out for the best

I know you want me to stay
And honey I'd sure like to see it your way
'Cause you're the best I've ever had of late
But something stronger than love somehow
Has got me restless and I gotta go now
But I'll be back this way if you care to wait

I'm a drifter floating on the sea
Going where the currents take me
And I don't think I'll ever come to rest
'Cause I'm a drifter floating on the ocean
I've kinda got to where I like the motion
Hoping things are gonna work out for
the best
I keep hoping to find
A settledown place and a peaceful mind
Wondering if it's just around the bend
'Cause with all the things I wanna do
and see
You gotta be a millionaire of broke like me
Walking down this road that's got no end.
I'm a drifter floating on the sea
Going where the currents take me
And I don't think I'll ever come to rest
'Cause I'm a drifter floating on the ocean
I've kinda got to where I like the motion
Hoping things are gonna work out for
the best
