Lyrics

No need for directions specific
My world is where I walk
My love in the ocean Pacific
with this woman this reason I talk

Don’t tell me of taxes and
tell me I’m free
They’ve tried to find me
but I ain’t got ID
No, I’m just a man and I let it be
I’m just a man surviving the sea

I’m a sweet drifter
living my little white lies
A sweet drifter
and I’ve learned through the years how to cry

Well, you say that I’m lazy
A worthless bum
But you don’t know me
Where I’ve been

I work at my living
don’t get me wrong
I push up in the morning
and I keep myself movin’ on

I had a lady
Her soul’s been set free
She loved the ocean and being with me
I’m just a man
Here I be
I’m just a man surviving the sea

I’m a sweet drifter
Living my little white lies
A sweet drifter
and I’ve learned through the years
how to cry

Where is this going
Where will it end
My heart is broken
I can’t amend
I don’t need pity
I don’t need saved
I don’t need you to know my name

If you’re a drifter
and a dreamer like me
you hold onto happy
and letting things be

She called me her
“Sweet Drifter.
Living my little white lies”
Her “Sweet Drifter”
How I’ve learned through the years
how to cry
Whoa
