"Drifter's Wife" lyrics

"Drifter's Wife"
(originally by J.J. Cale)

Roll it out, roll it in
I guess I'm on the road again
But a drifter's life is a drifter's wife
Don't you tell me how I told you so

I had a girl in Tennessee
Man, she knew how to love me
She got free-fever and had to fly
I've never seen that girl again

So, roll it out, roll it in
I guess I'm on the road again
But a drifter's life is a drifter's wife
Don't you tell me how I told you so

New York City, it's a place I been
I went one time with a travelin' band
Portland, Maine to the Mexico line
Always movin' just to make a dime

So, roll it out, roll it in
I guess I'm on the road again
But a drifter's life is a drifter's wife
Don't you tell me how I told you so

Roll it out, roll it in
I guess I'm on the road again
But a drifter's life is a drifter's wife
Don't you tell me how I told you so
