Lyrics:
And I'm the last of the drifters
Last of the drifters, yeah
I remember Louisiana in a hot steamy night
Hot steamy night and she was holding me tight
An old
Drifter, drifter)
I'm doing one hundred twenty plowing over mail boxes
Radar detector to tell me where the cops is
Spend another night at the Motel six
A thief of new horizons
The drifter is a ghost
A daydream
A bandit to the law
You think you have him
But he vanishes into the night
Never to be seen again
the sun got away
Let me in tonight and we'll make that mistake
Let's just see how much we can make from it hey
And we'll have a drifter's summer
We'll have
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low,
doomed to drift this world forever
Call me the fame drifter
I'm a self-destructive egotistical diva
I know nothing but fame, that's why I need the...
'Cause I'm the high plains drifter, and I'm the drifter
The high plains drifter, and I'm the drifter
They can't catch me they're never gonna find
'Cause I'm the high plains drifter, and I'm the drifter
The high plains drifter, and I'm the drifter
They can't catch me they're never gonna find
side
Keep your days and nights full of hope
Put the kids to bed and wait up for me
Your Rocky Mountain Drifter's comin' home
evangelists and Luke the Drifter
What is lost? What is missing?
What's been gone way too long?
We had dreams when the night was young
We were believers
WAYLON:
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio,
WAYLON:
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio,
And she said, "The night looks like it's never been as young,
As when it had a vision."
She said "You used to call its name, you used to hold its hands,
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
She was a young and pretty Coleman county farm girl
Never been more than fifty miles from home
I was just a drifter, I was living off the land
way out of sight
But it gets him nowhere
And the drifter never pays a price
He's running through the day and the night
But he's running to nowhere
to mention
I've been a drifter a drover a wrangler and a gambler
Played all games of chance includin' romance
If you're tryin' your best you're likely
Soundbites and starlight
I am up every night
Burn down the house and move on
All my life in the shadow of a giant, giant, giant
I'm a drifter, I'm
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low,
One night of love beside a strange young smile,
As warm as I have known,
A travelin' boy and only passing through,
But one who'll always think
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
There's a drifter in this town
He lurches at night, when the blinds are down
Creeping about in a rusted white van
Scoping out young wives, cause he
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
