"Drifter" lyrics
"Drifter"
There's a feeling way down in my bones
When I know I've stayed much too long
And I see the questions in her eyes
Never was much good with goodbyes
But on a cold, rainy night I'll remember
And I know I'll wish I had stayed
Drifter
One ole dollar bill won't get a lot
Tighten up your belt another notch
But you know the times are kind of hard
When it comes down to pawning your guitar
But something's bound to come along tomorrow
It don't take much to get you by
Drifter
Drifter
You tried your hand in them cotton fields down south
You finally get your pay and head on out
And that night you lose it all on a queen of spades
But it ain't win or lose-it's how you play
But there's a blue northern coming on again
And that old denim coat is mighty thin
Where you gonna spend the winter
Drifter

John Hiatt - "Adios To California" Smokey room and a thin blue light
Her arms were pale as white
Trying to outlast the night
Howlin' at the moon
Living in the canyon then
Hangdown Hanna and Whiskey Jim
Dirty jeans and mudslide hymns...
Keb' Mo' - "'62 Chevy" There was a breakdown, in communication
Trying to make the best of a bad situation that I'm in now
I really want you back
I'll drive around the world, tell me where you're at and I'll be there...
JJ Cale & Eric Clapton - "Danger" Danger, she's out into the night
Danger, she's such a pretty sight
She was treated so badly it seems
Now she's looking for her dreams
Danger, she's out into the night
Danger, she walks the streets...
Taj Mahal - "Lovin' In My Baby's Eyes" Look here baby now you know I can
Be the one to be your man
Baby now you know I knew I'd do
Anything in the world for you
To have lovin' from my baby's eyes
Oh, lovin' from my baby's eyes
See that...
Leon Russell - "Tight Rope" I'm up on the tightwire
one side's ice and one is fire
its a circus game with you and me
I'm up on the tightrope
one side's hate and one is hope
but the tophat on my head is all you see
And the wire...
