Drifter's Heart

On top of the hill, you stop the car, turn off the music and the lights

You name your fears, your hopes and dreams and you scream them to the night

No nine-to-five, you're the restless kind, look like a misfit to this world

That makes you beg, borrow and steal for something you don't feel your own...

You can change your tune and step out of line

You can burn a bridge, you can run against time

You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark

But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart

Sometime rivers seem too wide to wade and walls too high to climb

And the sins too many to wash away, too many the reasons that don't rhyme

Love can burn and make you hurt, and love may come and go

Surrender to the summer heat your wild and troubled soul, don't you know...

You can change your tune, you can bet your life

In someone else's shoes, try to dance in time

You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark

But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart

On top of the hill, you start the car, turn on the music and the lights

Steer away clear from all the fears, and drive home until it's night, 'cause you know...

You can change your tune and step out of line

You can burn a bridge and try to run against time

You can win or lose, shootin' straight in the dark

But you can't chain down a drifter's heart...Don't you know...

You can change your tune, you can turn your head

You can walk on fire, you can raise the dead

You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark

But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart

Your driftin' heart, a drifter's heart
