Verse:
 D           Em7
I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
 C9       D
Get out while I can
                  D7
Gonna trade in this life I've been livin'
 G          Em7
For a pocket full of sand

And a modern day drifter
                D
Don't have to tell no one his plans

 D                  Em7
I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway
 C9          D
Where no one knows my name
                 D7
Where as long as the sky just goes on
 G         Em7
And it's never the same
                  D
A modern day drifter don't ever complain

And I'll just keep on bein' gone

Yes I am

Gonna slip this ring off my finger

'Cause everybody understands

Nothin' but time on his hands
