Drifters Raus

Matthew Grimson

(Get outta town
Get outta town
Get outta town
Get out now)

Get outta town, get outta town
This town's sick of me hanging around
I drifted through my life , I drifted through town
But when I left this wife, this was the road that I found

All of my life, everyday
Alone on the road, I don't know my way
I just stay, make a mess, I never clean up
'Cause I'm movin' on, alone on the road

Drifters raus, get out of the house
When they start to shout, I know to raus
Drifters raus, get outta the house
Get outta the house

(Get outta town
Get outta town
Get out now)

I was stopped by the Mounties in the very next county
They knew nothing about me, so they chose to doubt me
A vagrancy charge would make my life really hard
So to stay out of jail, I took this job

So I worked on a farm for six months or more
I worked in the dust and I worked in the storm
Tripped over a lantern late one night in the barn
Couldn't pump enough water to save that old man's farm

Drifters raus, get out of the house
When they start to shout, I know to raus
Drifters raus, get outta the house
Get outta the house

(Get outta town
Get outta town
Get out now)

I don't wipe my feet and I never unpack
When I'm leaving here, I'm never comin' back
I never count the checks that I bounce
By the time that they're found, I'm headed south

To the next little town, where I throw it down
Have it my way or I hit the highway
'Cause I got a name and I got a song
And I couldn't care if I'm playin' it wrong

Drifters raus, get out of the house
When they start to shout, I know to raus
Drifters raus, get outta the house
I told my horse to whoa, but they said "drifters raus"
