THE DRIFTER

I'm heading down the highway, I'm heading down to San Antone,

have no one with me, I'm driven down all alone.

Stoppin in the towns like a drifter in the night,

startin' on the road again, at the first sign of light.

Cause I'm the drifter, I'm drifting from town to town,

I'm not stayin long enough for anyone to get me down.

Went on my journey when I was only twenty-one,

no one told me I'd be gone for this long,

Livin' on my own, livin from day to day

I guess I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cause I'm the drifter, I'm drifting from town to town,

I'm not stayin' long enough for anyone to get me down.

Never had a family, never had much of a past

I really don't know how long this good time is going to last.

Don't believe in luck, I hope God's on my side.

Cause I don't wan't this to be my last ride.

Cause I'm the drifter, I'm drifting from town to town,

I'm not stayin long enough for anyone to get me down.

THE PROPOSAL

I have brought you hear for one thing,

I want you to wear my ring.

I am down on one knee

I want you to marry me.

If you say yes

when I arise to my feet,

you will make my life complete.

Mary, will you marry me?

THE BREAKUP

I could not love you from the start,

another women has the key to my heart.

Over the years I have let you down,

you must of felt a clown.

I really tried to make it work

It was not you

I am the jerk

I could not love you from the start

You see it was Mary

Who has my heart.
