The Lamms The Drifter
A
Pedal down - cruise along
Radio transmits this song
Dusty road - burning sky
Bleeding all my memories dry
Heavy load - ride alone
Solitary to the bone
Passing through - moving on
Moving like a rolling stone
Drifting on and on
Destination home
Miles and miles alone
Looking for someone
Desert road - endless skies
Twisting turning countless miles
Slow it down - let em through
The road is big enough for two
Speed it up - shut em out
Pedal down - scream and shout
Maybe this guy wants to die
Maybe I just might oblige
Push the break - make me stop
Pull in to the parking lot
Take a drag - cigarette
Sucking life with every breath
Watch the world - drift on by
Coffee black for caffeine high
Memories - gathering
Have a beer and let them in
She was once - a dreamer too
Life was good and future too
She fell in - love fell out
Future plans were messed about
Now she serves passers by
Pouring coffee with a smile
Many nights - she would cry
Hoping she might meet a guy
Sitting there - for a while
She walks over - gives a smile
Coffee refill - for the road
Drifters heart nearly explodes
Suddenly - something changed
Lives begin to rearrange
Shift is up - eyes the clock
She sits down - eyes are locked
Final Chorus
Drifting for so long
Destination home
Miles and miles alone
Found someone
Found my home
Found my home
(Cotson 2012)
