The drifter
No matter where i go,in time I always come to know
There is bound to be, somewhere else I'd rather call home.
As a child, i watched the world grow
from the backseat of a car rollin' down the highway.
I learned how to hustle, and I learned how to lie
But the biggest lesson was, it's worth nothing to cry.
i got bit long ago and now i carry, that drifter's soul.
No matter where i go, I always come to know
There is bound to be, somewhere else I'd rather call home.
never run from a fight, you don't hide from a good time
Make love rhyme, and life will be just fine.
I come from a long line of people
who have always looked for another hill to climb.
No matter where i go, I always come to know
There is bound to be, somewhere else I'd rather call home.
I've been barefoot in the Arizona red sands.
I got to play cowboy up in the badlands.
I've swam in the ocean and stayed in paradise
But in the end, i always realize
No matter where i go, in time I come to know
There is bound to be, somewhere else I'd rather call home.
