Get outta town Get outta town Get outta town Get out now! Get outta town, get outta town This town's sick of me hanging around I drifted through my life, I drifted through town But when I left this wife, this was the road that I found All of my life, everyday Alone on the road, I don't know my way I just stay, make a mess, I never clean up 'Cause I'm moving on, alone on the road Drifters raus, get out of the house When they start to shout, I know to raus Drifters raus, get outta the house Get outta the house I was stopped by the Mounties in the very next county They knew nothing about me, so they chose to doubt me A vagrancy charge would make my life really hard So to stay out of jail, I took this job So I worked on a farm for six months or more I worked in the dust and I worked in the storms Tripped over a lantern late one night in the barn Couldn't pump enough water to save that old man's farm I don't wipe my feet and I never unpack When I'm leaving here, I'm never coming back I never count the cheques that I bounce By the time that they're found, I'm headed south To the next little town, where I throw it down Have it my way or I hit the highway 'Cause I got a name and I got a song And I couldn't care if I'm playing it wrong I told my horse to "whoa" but they said "Drifters raus"
