like an old sailor who's drawn to the sea
the voice of the highway whispers to me
there's no way to tell you the reason i go
the life of a drifter is all that i know
i worked at the factory, the office, the field
security called me but it had to yield
you can't stop a tiger from chasing its prey
and you can't stop a drifter from going away
my wife calls me crazy but she understands
she knows that i'm doing the best that i can
you can't stop the ocean from meeting the land
and you'll never reform a happy man
like an old sailor who's drawn to the sea
the voice of the highway whispers to me
you can't stop the ocean from kissing the land
and you'll never reform a happy man
