Drifter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I'm thrown into an empty room, or should I say a box?
I try to turn around to leave, but the door is slammed and locks

So I sing here and I think about all the evil things I've done
I lost where I was going 'cause I forgot where I came from

[Chorus]
I surrender, put my weapons down
I can't remember what I'm doing in this town
It's time for me to pack my bags, I will always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road

[Post-Chorus]
I'm a drifter
I'm a drifter

[Verse 2]
Now every time I look straight into my father's eyes
I see how hurt and broken down he is from all the times
He had to watch the son he raised follow in his steps
The only option that he ever had was to hope for the best


[Chorus]
I surrender, put my weapons down
I can't remember what I'm doing in this town
It's time for me to pack my bags, I will always be alone
The only thing I've ever known is out there on the road

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
