lyrics

All the sultans in their feather beds
Don’t pay too much mind where the rounders rest their heads
This one goes to those with nowhere to lie
Lean back and float down stream with the drifter’s lullaby

Freight train rider
Ride on into the night
You can make it to the moon
If you make it to sunlight

Burning long the railways
Floating on the breeze
Seeing what nobody knows
Going where nobody sees

And all the canyons couldn’t hold the tears you cry
Lean back and float down stream with the drifter’s lullaby

And no one knows where they go to run and hide
Lean back and float down stream with the drifter’s lullaby
