David Gates - Drifter Lyrics

I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea

Goin' where the currents take me

And I don't think I'll ever come to rest

'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean

I've kinda got to where I like the motion

Things are gonna work out for the best



I know you want me to stay

And honey I'd sure like to see it your way

'Cause you're the best I've ever had of late

But somethin' stronger than love somehow

Has got me restless and I gotta go now

But I'll be back this way if you care to wait



I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea

Goin' where the currents take me

And I don't think I'll ever come to rest

'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean

I've kinda got to where I like the motion

Hopin' things are gonna work out for

the best

I keep hopin' to find

A settledown place and a peaceful mind

Wonderin' if it's just around the bend

'Cause with all the things I wanna do

and see

You gotta be a millionaire of broke like me

Walkin' down this road that's got no end.

I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea

Goin' where the currents take me

And I don't think I'll ever come to rest

'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean

I've kinda got to where I like the motion

Hopin' things are gonna work out for

the best
