. She's Just a Drifter Songtext
von Marty Robbins

She′s just a drifter and she drifts from town to town
She's never been branded and she′s never been tied down
She drifts for a while then she might drift back to town
And somethin' keeps callin' she has to move on to new ground

Wild as a prairie wind warm as the hot desert sun
Places she′s never seen keeps her from settelin′ down
Just like a free runnin' river she rambles and rolls
Ther highway′s her Heaven, she makes the whole world her own


'Cause she′s a drifter don't mean that I don′t care about her
Sometimes I live with her, sometimes I'm livin' without her
Just when I think that I′m finally beginnin′ to tame her
That's when she makes me feel bein′ tied down kinda shames her

Down to the ocean, she might stay a while on the beach
Then caught by the high tide she drifts further on out of reach
There's no way a-tellin′ how soon you may see her again
Nature's her Mother and that makes her kin to the wind

′Cause she's a drifter don't mean that I don′t care about her
Sometimes I live with her, sometimes I′m livin' without her
Just when I think that I′m finally beginnin' to tame her
That′s when she makes me feel bein' tied down kinda shames her
