Drifter's Heart

On top of the hill, you stop the car, turn off the music and the lights 
You name your fears, your hopes and dreams and you scream them to the night 
No nine-to-five, you're the restless kind, look like a misfit to this world 
That makes you beg, borrow and steal for something you don't feel your own... 

You can change your tune and step out of line 
You can burn a bridge, you can run against time 
You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark 
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart 

Sometime rivers seem too wide to wade and walls too high to climb 
And the sins too many to wash away, too many the reasons that don't rhyme 
Love can burn and make you hurt, and love may come and go 
Surrender to the summer heat your wild and troubled soul, don't you know... 

You can change your tune, you can bet your life 
In someone else's shoes, try to dance in time 
You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark 
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart 

On top of the hill, you start the car, turn on the music and the lights 
Steer away clear from all the fears, and drive home until it's night, 'cause you know... 

You can change your tune and step out of line 
You can burn a bridge and try to run against time 
You can win or lose, shootin' straight in the dark 
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart...Don't you know... 

You can change your tune, you can turn your head 
You can walk on fire, you can raise the dead 
You can win or lose, shooting straight in the dark 
But you can't chain down a drifter's heart, a drifter's heart 
Your driftin' heart, a drifter's heart
