Drifters Wife J J Cale lyrics

Had me a woman down in Tennessee
Oh she used to love me
Free fever got me and I had to go
I never seen that woman no more

New York City is a place I been
I was there one time with a travellin` band
Young girl there wanted me to stay
I think she wanted me to play

Roll it out, roll it in
Here we go down the road again
Drifters life is a drifters wife
Don`t say I didn`t tell you so

Travellin` man now he don`t know
Only what he hears on the radio
Politics and money don`t bother him
Only good lookin` women and a bottle of gin

Portland, Oregon, to the Mexican line
Boy let me tell you the women are fine
If you don`t hang around there very long
They`ll never ever know you`re gone
