Luke The Drifter Lyrics

Dan Bern

(Verse)
Came home after the moon trip
Didn't have alot to say
Guess my mind was shot pretty good
Since seing the Milky Way
And my gal was kind of wondering
Which way was gonna go
And so what I brought away

(Verse)
And I was not ready to enlist
Another soul on research
That guy's got no taste
The guy in the corner is John Birch
And I heard that you've been calling
And I ain't picking up the phone
You came to me in a dream one time
And said "Leave me alone"
Our life ain't tragic, mostly
Life is magic somely

(Verse)
And I find myself writing long poetic
Lines with awesome rhymes
And maybe you're thinking Dilan
But to me it's just that shit
Alexander Pope was running and hey
Don't blame me for a crooked nose
And I bow bow Patrick blows
A certain way
I am God's only son
No mistake in this time around

(Verse)
And how much is it worth
To finally get some sleep
Without heroin or valerian
Or tilly's or pm
And I figured I might just put my mexican
Money where my map is
Go two hands on the forehead
And backin' like Monica Seles
Poncho Segura,Mary Anne Bartoli
And name some
Our life ain't magic,mostly
Life is tragic somely

(Verse)
Maybe we don't want too many cops
Maybe one of us should be a doc
Maybe I just want to wake under a hollow log
Maybe I'm Luke the drifter
My nature is to drift
Maybe I got one masterpiece
And made like Johnny Swift
And I bet if I never get there
I'll be alright with that
Tomorrow at sundown
Could be none left of me, but my hat
And hello Johnny
But hello Johnny

(Verse)
Johnny let me be the first to welcome you in here
Not sure if there's a bar
But I bet it's easy to smuggling beer
Someone's making short bread
Nothing's ever smelled so good
Johnny boy I think you're
Gonna like this neighbourhood
I do not want to live my life
From regret
Either way
Stay or go
Go or stay
And just do one or the other

(Verse)
With one of your eye's have felt in love
The other eye's my friend
I guess that's just how we let this
Particular story end
I think I missed some kid today
On the other side of this fence
Didn't seen his face, don't know his name
The best part was the silence
Life ain't tragic ,mostly
Life is magic, somely
Where is life all live freasure
