Country Drifter

[Verse] I ain't no Charlie sniffer, never liked that line, Used to be a lifter of the spirit and the wine, Found myself adriftin' in a haze of broken dreams, Now I'm pickin' up the pieces, tearin' at the seams. [Verse 2] Bobby Joe from down the road, he took the same wrong turn, Lost in shadows, heavy load, watch his bridges burn, Thought I'd go the same way, but I found a better path, Now I’m singin’ 'bout redemption, tryin' to escape my past. [Chorus] I'm a country drifter, rollin' down the lane, Left behind the powder, no more drownin' in the rain, Gonna find my freedom, in the whistle of a train, Country roads are callin', and I'm never feelin' pain. [Verse 3] Used to hide my sorrows under smoky neon skies, Tradin' love for heartache, tellin' hurtful lies, Now I'm on the straight and narrow, with the sun upon my face, Faith and hope my companions, in this wild, open space. [Verse 4] Mama taught me lessons, but I strayed along the way, Fell into temptation, nearly lost and led astray, But a whisper in the willows said, “Boy, you best be true,” Now I’m turnin’ corners, startin’ life anew. [Chorus] I'm a country drifter, rollin' down the lane, Left behind the powder, no more drownin' in the rain, Gonna find my freedom, in the whistle of a train, Country roads are callin', and I'm never feelin' pain.
