Drifters Wife — текст песни (J. J. Cale)

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 out, roll it in

Here we go down the road again

Drifters life is a drifters wife

Dont say I didnt tell you so

Travellin man now he dont know

Only what he hears on the radio

Politics and money dont bother him

Only good lookin women and a bottle of gin

Portland, oregon, to the mexican line

Boy let me tell you the women are fine

If you dont hang around there very long

Theyll never ever know youre gone
