capo II I'm gonna be a modern day drifter Get out while I can Gonna trade in this life I've been livin' For a pocket full of sand And a modern day drifter Don't have to tell no one his plans I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway Where no one knows my name Where as long as the sky just goes on And it's never the same A modern day drifter don't ever complain Bye bye, high life Feels like the right time To say so long Keep on goin' strong And I'll just keep on bein' gone 'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter Yes I am Gonna slip this ring off my finger 'Cause everybody understands That a modern day drifter's got Nothin' but time on his hands Bye bye, high life It feels like the right time To say so long Keep on goin' strong And I'll just keep bein' gone 'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter Oh, yes I am Gonna slip this ring off my finger 'Cause everybody understands That a modern day drifter's got Nothin' but time on his hands
