"Driftin" lyrics

"Driftin"

Driftin'
My man and me we're driftin'
And if a breeze is liftin'
We're driftin' on by

Rollin'
Somewhere old molly's lowin'
And if a breeze gets blowin'
We're rollin' on by

I wanted to be happy
But I couldn't be
The future's plain for me
We wander aimlessly
Wait and see so

Amblin'
Somewhere the sky's meanderin'
And while the river's ramblin'
We're amblin' on by

Cruisin'
Tappin' the waves we're cruisin'
And if a pale moon's brewin'
We're cruisin' on by

I wanted to be happy
But I couldn't be
The future's plain for me
We wander aimlessly
Wait and see so

Driftin'
Me and the sea we're driftin'
And if a fever's liftin'
We're driftin' through time
For we've got nothing but time
Driftin' by
