J. J. Cale - Drifters Wife lyrics

rate me

Had me a woman down in tennessee

Boy she used to love me

Free fever got me and I had to go

I never seen that woman no more

New york city is a place I been

I was there one time with a travellin' band

Young girl there wanted me to stay

I think she wanted me to pay

Roll it outroll it in

Here we go down the road again

Drifters life is a drifters wife

Don't say I didn't tell you so

Travellin' man now he don't know

Only what he hears on the radio

Politics and money don't bother him

Only good lookin' women and a bottle of gin

Portlandoregonto the mexican line

Boy let me tell you the women are fine

If you don't hang around there very long

They'll never ever know you're gone
