Lyrics:

You knew I could not stay for long when you asked me
To come over in the wee hours of the mornin'
I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleepin'
And that is why I've given you fair warnin'
And though you might have loved me like I never ever have been
Loved before
Your front door is open
And I've got to keep on movin'

So, I will stay with you a while and then I'll
Let my hitchhike thumb take me to where I wanna
Because I've got to keep on searchin' for the dream that I've been seekin'
Since I left my Oklahoma
And who's to say but that I might be back tomorrow
If I find there's only sorrow
You may see me from your windowsill next mornin'

I'm a drifter, and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter, and I've felt this pain
The pain that comes with loneliness
So, I drift from town to town
Searchin' all around
Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you, then I'll be back tomorrow

Let's make the most of time before the break of day
But don't try to make me stay if I don't want to
Because I've got to keep on searchin' for that dream
And you can't bind me with the simple words 'I love you'
But if I realize the dream that I've been searchin' for
Is waitin' here behind your door
Then I'll come back to stay if you still want me to

I'm a drifter, and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter, and I've felt this pain
The pain that comes with loneliness
So, I drift from town to town
Searchin' all around
Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow


I'm a drifter, and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter, and I've felt this pain
The pain that comes with loneliness
So, I drift from town to town
Searchin' all around
Lookin' for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow
