I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea
 
 Goin' where the currents take me
 
 And i don't think i'll ever come to rest
 
 'cause i'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean
 
 I've kinda got to where i like the motion
 
 Things are gonna work out for the best
 
  
  I know you want me to stay
 
 And honey i'd sure like to see it your way
 
 'cause you're the best i've ever had of late
 
 But somethin' stronger than love somehow
 
 Has got me restless and i gotta go now
 
 But i'll be back this way if you care to wait
  
 
 I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea
 
 Goin' where the currents take me
 
 And i don't think i'll ever come to rest
 
 'cause i'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean
 
 I've kinda got to where i like the motion
 
 Hopin' things are gonna work out for
 
 The best
 
 I keep hopin' to find
 
 A settledown place and a peaceful mind
 
 Wonderin' if it's just around the bend
 
 'cause with all the things i wanna do
 
 And see
 
 You gotta be a millionaire of broke like me
 
 Walkin' down this road that's got no end.
 
 I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea
 
 Goin' where the currents take me
 
 And i don't think i'll ever come to rest
 
 'cause i'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean
 
 I've kinda got to where i like the motion
 
 Hopin' things are gonna work out for
 
 The best
