From the recording The Cost of Everything and the Value of Nothing
Lyrics
I'm driftin' and driftin'
Lordy, I'm fadin' fast (x2)
I keep drinking my fool-head off
Trying to forget my past
I'm a nighttime drifter
I can't stand no day (x2)
I feel my best around midnight
In the morning I'm on my way
Tell me, tell me
You no I can't stand no lie (x2)
Are you gonna be my sugar babe
Are you gonna pass me by
I'm driftin' and driftin'
Lordy, I'm fadin' fast (x2)
I keep drinking my fool-head off
Trying to forget my past
