Drifters Raus - Joel Plaskett

(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»
