“i’m a drifter” –johnny cash

here’s another bit of stuff i entered but never completed/posted. every now and then i hear some lyrics that really strike me in the moment, and i guess these did. i don’t recall if i was planning on writing something about how the lyrics related to how i felt or what was going on at the time, and the context of my published entries don’t really give me much for memory triggers. i guess, like the song describes, i was just feeling alone and lonely, without much purpose or reason or motivation. (as unlikely as that might seem 😉

i’m a drifter, a lonesome drifter
got no place to call my own no more
i’m a wanderer, a lonesome wanderer
got no one to call my own no more
got no strings to tie me down
got no cause to hang around
what difference does it make which way i go?
got an empty feeling down inside
still i need to stay alive
and who can tell what waits beyond this door?
i’m a drifter, a lonesome drifter
got no one to call my own no more
got no strings to tie me down
got no cause to hang around
what difference does it make which way i go?
go an empty feeling down inside
still i need to stay alive
and who can tell what waits beyond this road?
i’m a drifter, a lonesome drifter
got no one to call my own no more
got no place to call my home no more
i’m a drifter, a lonesome drifter
i’m a drifter, a lonesome drifter…
