I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
C9D
Get out while I can
D7
Gonna trade in this life I've been livin'
GEm7
For a pocket full of sand
And a modern day drifter
D
Don't have to tell no one his plans
DEm7
I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway
C9D
Where no one knows my name
D7
Where as long as the sky just goes on
GEm7
And it's never the same
DA modern day drifter don't ever complain

Bye bye, high life

To say so long

Keep on goin' strong
F#mGA
And I'll just keep on bein' gone
DEm7
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
C9D
Yes I am
D7
Gonna slip this ring off my finger
GEm7
'Cause everybody understands
That a modern day drifter's got
D
Nothin' but time on his hands
Bye bye, high life
It feels like the right time
To say so long
Keep on goin' strong
And I'll just keep bein' gone
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
Oh, yes I am
Gonna slip this ring off my finger
'Cause everybody understands
That a modern day drifter's got
Nothin' but time on his hands
