  • I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
    And get out while I can
    Gonna trade in this life I've been living
    For a pocket full of sand
    And a modern day drifter don't have to tell no one his plans

    I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway
    No one knows my name
    Where as long as the sky just goes on
    And it's never the same
    A modern day drifter don't ever complain

    Bye bye hi life
    Feels like the right time
    To say so long
    Keep on going strong
    And I'll just keep on being gone
    Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter, Yes I am
    Gonna slip this ring off my finger
    Cause everybody understands
    That a modern day drifter's got nothing but time on his hands

    Bye bye hi life
    Feels like the right time
    To say so long
    Keep on going strong
    And I'll just keep on being gone
    Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
    Oh yes I am
    Gonna slip this ring off my finger
    Cause everybody understands
    That a modern day drifter's got nothing but time on his hands Writer/s: JOHN SCOTT SHERRILL, WYATT EASTERLING
