Lyrics
My momma always thought I was a wild child
Poppa said I danced to a different drum
First chance I had to break free
From the chains holding me
I hit the road and stuck out my big thumb
(CHORUS)
Yeah I’m a drifter no pride no shame
I’m not lost why be born again
Devil keeps trying to catch up to me
So I got to keep moving on
Hop a train… catch a ride
Keep drifting till the day I die
I’m a wanderer a traveler a midnight rambler
I’m a drifter… that’s me and who I am
I’m a shadow by day and a ghost at night
I know my restless soul can never be tamed
Like some curious cat cat
Yeah … I like it like that
Just to keep on keeping on’s all I crave
(CHORUS)
Yeah I’m a drifter no pride no shame
I’m not lost why be born again
Devil keeps trying to catch up to me
So I got to keep moving on
Hop a train… hitch a ride
Keep drifting till the day I die
I’m a wanderer a traveler a midnight rambler
I’m a drifter… that’s me and who I am
(guitar solo)
(CHORUS)
Yeah I’m a drifter no pride no shame
I’m not lost why be born again
Devil keeps trying to catch up to me
So I got to keep moving on
Hop a train… hitch a ride
Keep drifting till the day I die
I’m a wanderer a traveler a midnight rambler
I’m a drifter… that’s me and who I am
