Drifter
I used to have a home
A place i started from
A place to call my own
Bright lights and late nights
The devil took me on a midnight ride
Left me out in the desert on my own
Now i feel alone
I need a hand
To help me find my way back home
I’m a drifter out on a dead end road
Trying to find my way back home
To get to you, oh to get to you
Lord i’ve been gone for far too long
Headed to places i don’t belong
And i’ve got to get back home to you
Sometimes i think about the past
The road that i was on
The one that lead me home
I’ll walk on another day
I may wonder but i never stray
Cause i found out the hard way sin don’t pay
Now i feel alone
I need a hand
To help me find my way back home
I’m a drifter out on a dead end road
Trying to find my way back home
To get to you, oh to get to you
Lord i’ve been gone for far too long
Headed to places i don’t belong
And i’ve got to get back home to you
And when i feel the night is closing in
And i can barely breathe the air
I just remember that i’ve got a friend
Who really cares
Oh who really cares
I’m a drifter out on a dead end road
Trying to find my way back home
To get to you, oh to get to you
Lord i’ve been gone for far too long
Headed to places i don’t belong
And i’ve got to get back home to you
I’m going to email you my favorite song tonight that I was blasting over the phone into your ear last night. lol. Hopefully you’ll be able to understand it better.
It is a good song! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t see this as an obsession with a sad song! It’s refreshing to know that there is a song that expresses our Holy Spirit guided ability to CONFESS that we’ve been places we wish we hadn’t been but that BECAUSE Jesus knew that we’d do JUST that, He continued to get up EVERY TIME HE FELL on His way to the cross … to compensate for OUR shortcoming/s & to FINISH the work needed for OUR salvation… knowing well ahead of time that we COULDN’T do it on our own … and loving us in spite of ourselves & ENOUGH to carry on His purpose anyway! What a song of hope!!THANK YOU JESUS (and the artist He used as His “vessel” to bring us this song!)
