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
F#m G A D
Bye bye, high life
F#m G A
Feels like the right time
F#m G
To say so long
A D
Keep on goin' strong
F#m G A
And I'll just keep on bein' gone
D Em7
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
C9 D
Yes I am
D7
Gonna slip this ring off my finger
G Em7
'Cause everybody understands
That a modern day drifter's got
D
Nothin' but time on his hands
Bye bye, high life
It feels like the right time
To say so long
Keep on goin' strong
And I'll just keep bein' gone
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
Oh, yes I am
Gonna slip this ring off my finger
'Cause everybody understands
That a modern day drifter's got
Nothin' but time on his hands
