I'm just a drifter
  I'll stay until you
  try to tie me down
  I'm not a quitter, baby
  I'd like to stay and see
  the whole thing go down.
    Don't try to tell me
  What I gotta do to fit
  Don't try to rescue me,
  I'm gonna go with my ship.
    What about you, did I ever
  take a thing from you?
  What about me, how do I know
  that your love is true?
  What about you,
  how can I count on you
  to count on me?
    I like to drive my car
  If I've got someplace to go
  I like to feel the wheel
  Put down the top
  and let it roll.
    Don't try to fence me in,
  Don't try to slow me down
  Don't try to speed me up,
  Or tie my feet
  down to the ground.
    What about you, did I ever
  take a thing from you?
  What about me, how do I know
  that your love is true?
  What about you,
  how can I count on you
  to count on me?
    I'm just a drifter
  I'll stay until
  you try to tie me down
  Don't try to rescue me,
  Don't try to rescue me
  I like to feel the wheel,
  I like to feel the wheel
  I like to feel the wheel.
