Ernest Tubb - Driftwood on the river

^CI'm just drift-wood on the river floating ^G7down the tide I don't care where this old river carries ^Cme

I keep drifting just because my heart is ^Fbroken inside And I'm ^G7tired of wishing for what can not ^Cbe

I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost ^G7same as I Share a hand shake and a tender tear or ^Ctwo

But It's always good luck now we got to ^Fsay good-bye I must ^G7wander on to keep my ren^Cdezvous

Though I drift through town and city I can ^G7never stay For I find no place to call my home sweet ^Chome

I don't ask for help or pity I just ^Fgo my way All I'm ^G7praying for is peace to dream ^Calone

I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm ^G7drifting on Till this weary river meets the deep blue ^Csea

Where the deep blue sea may help me to ^Fforget someone Yes the ^G7careless one who has forgotten ^Cme

In my heart I don't feel bitter over ^G7what has been I feel sorry for the one I must ^Cforget

And instead of being someone with the ^Fworld to win I'm just ^G7drift-wood on the river of ^Cregret
