I'm a drifter like a rolling stone
Like the Mississippi river gotta keep rolling on
No one can ever tame me or ever hold me down
When the sun comes up in the morning I'll be in another town

You think that you know me and that you love me true
There's no way that I can stay and spend my life with you
No one can ever tame me or hold me down
When the sun comes up in the morning I'll be in another town

* Refrain

Like any other lover she wanted me to settle down
There's too many waiting, waiting to be found
When you're lonely drifter the blues will come around
When the sun comes up in the morning I'll be in another town

* Refrain
