Driftwood On The River Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

I'm just driftwood on the river floating down the tide 

I don't care where this old river carries me 

I keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside 

And I'm tired of wishing for what cannot be 

(I may meet some little driftwood lost as same as I 

Share a handshake and a tender tear or two) 

But it's always good luck how we got to say goodbye 

I must wander on to keep my rendezvous 

Though I drift through town and city I can never stay 

For I find no place to call my home sweet home 

I don't ask for help or pitty I just go my way 

All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone 

(I'm just driftwood on the river and I'm drifting on 

Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea) 

Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone 

Yes the careless one who has forgotten me 

In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been 

I feel sorry for the one I must forget 

And instead of being someone with the world to win 

I'm just driftwood on the river of regret
