"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
