Drifter's Heart

On top of the hill, you stop the car, turn off the music and the lights
You name your fears, your hopes and dreams and you scream them to the night
No nine-to-five, you're the restless kind, look like a misfit to this world
That makes you beg, borrow and steal for something you don't feel your own...

You can change your tune and step out of line
You can burn a bridge, you can run against time
You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart

Sometime rivers seem too wide to wade and walls too high to climb
And the sins too many to wash away, too many the reasons that don't rhyme
Love can burn and make you hurt, and love may come and go
Surrender to the summer heat your wild and troubled soul, don't you know...

You can change your tune, you can bet your life
In someone else's shoes, try to dance in time
You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart

On top of the hill, you start the car, turn on the music and the lights
Steer away clear from all the fears, and drive home until it's night, 'cause you know...

You can change your tune and step out of line
You can burn a bridge and try to run against time
You can win or lose, shootin' straight in the dark
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart...Don't you know...

You can change your tune, you can turn your head
You can walk on fire, you can raise the dead
You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart
Your driftin' heart, a drifter's heart
