I’m gonna be a modern day drifter
Get out while I can
Gonna trade in this life I’ve been livin’
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
Where 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
High Life
Feels like the right time
Say so-long
Keep on goin’ 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
High Life
It feels like the right time
Say so-long
Keep on goin’ 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 has got nothing but time on his hands
