[N] It's about the most personal song I ever wrote, man.
So personal, in fact, I named my band after it.
I was 22 years old, pretty much married.
And
[C] me and the ex had it out.
She cheated while I was gone [G] and [B] came home, packed some shit,
and went walking down the railroad track,
[A] just bubbling over with emotion.
[G] And I wrote this [N] song.
[G]
[A] It's called The Wayward [G#] Drifter, and it's [A] for all of you.
[G] Yeah, the wind is whipping through the trees
[D] like a train through this old town.
[Am] Now that everybody's gone, now [C] the party's come [G] around.
Tonight the moon just will not shine, [D] and I can't see the stars.
[Am] I got nothing to think about [C] except this broken [G] heart.
Yeah, the one I love's gone away [D] because she could not be true.
So [Am] I packed some things off that ring
and [C] put on my walking [G] shoe.
I had it out in Darling before, [D] but this time with a plan.
I'm [Am] going to pick some tunes by the light of the moon
[C] just roaming around [G] this land.
And I'll be that wayward drifter [D] walking down the railroad tracks.
Lord, [Am] if I get gone, rambling on and [C] I ain't looking [G] back.
So from the switch yard with this old guitar,
[D] I'm heading to your town.
And [Am] I'll sing you a song, play all night long,
but [C] I can't stick [G] around.
[D]
[Am]
[C] [G]
[D]
[Am]
[C] [G]
Another town gone, another lonely song,
[D] another endless mile.
Now I [Am] can always stay and change my ways,
but [C] that just ain't my [G] style.
Yeah, eternity of [D] love and gold sunshine.
[Am] But in the end, I'm my only friend.
And I'll [C] tell you one [G] more time.
And I'll be that wayward drifter [D] walking down the railroad tracks.
[Am] Lord, if I get gone, rambling on [C] and I ain't looking [G] back.
So from the switch yard with this old guitar,
[D] I'm heading to your town.
And [Am] I'll sing you a song, play all night long,
[C] but I can't [G] stick around.
[D]
[Am]
[C]
[G]
[D]
[Am]
[C]
[G]
Fucking thing almost made me cry.
I guess I'll keep on walking
[D] and hopping on these old trains.
Because [Am] with my six string and without that ring,
[C] I ain't got no [G] complaints.
I know that's right.
I'd love to spend another night [D] with every one of you.
But [Am] I'd love to feel the rumbling still.
And [C] I've got to push [G] on through.
And I'll be that wayward drifter [D] walking down the railroad tracks.
Lord, [Am] if I get gone,
[C] make it [G] back.
So from the switch yard with this old guitar,
I'm [D] heading to your town.
Now I'll [Am] sing you a song, play all night long,
but [C] I can't stick [G] around.
