He walks alone in the blanket of night His lever draggin' on the ground Drift from town to town no way wrong, no way right Collectin' what he needs from what is found Every day is another day And the drifter's road has got footprints every way Stories are his gold with us in the tongue they're told Hanging on his every single word People sit and wonder some are young, some are old Amazed at what was said, believin' what was heard Every day is another day And the drifter's road takes you every way So I asked him: Can I come along? Walkin' free out there is where I belong And he said: Your choice is nothin' but your own Yeah, he said: You blink your eyes, I might be gone You'd be left out on the road Ten years go by I walk upon familiar ground Stories that I heard are mine to share Pieces of a younger me step out from the crowd Askin', can I take him anywhere? Every day is another day And the drifter's road takes you every way So he asked me: Can I come along? Walkin' free out there is where I belong And I said: Your choice is nothin' but your own Yeah, I said: You blink your eyes, I might be gone You'd be left out on the road
