Dreamer and a Drifter Lyrics

It's like this ya'll, it's like that ya'll

It's like this ya'll, it's like that ya'll

See, I grew up in the small town of Worcester

The haters were a-plenty

But the lovers were a-pusher

I missed my roots from west coast Cali

So at age sixteen I said bye to my family

A high school drop-out I was never s'posed to be

My friends shook their heads

And ma and pa couldn't believe

The life I was leaving

To go and chase my dreams

But I had to do it man

And this is how it be

Cause I'm a dreamer and a drifter

And you can't catch hold of me

I'm a dreamer and a drifter

And I chase every one of my dreams

See, it's like that ya'll, it's like this ya'll

It's like that ya'll, it's like this ya'll

Well, living on my own, I was in my comfort zone

I made my own money

So I spent it how I want

Life was far from superficial-I connected with the real

I learned in one day more than I had in seven years

I worked hard for food and shelter

A girl out on her own

I put in good time and I saw it come home

City to city, I worked and paid my way

Education you don't get in the classrooms of today

Cause I'm a dreamer and a drifter

And you can't catch hold of me

I'm a dreamer and a drifter

And I chase every one of my dreams

See, it's like that ya'll, it's like this ya'll

It's like that ya'll, it's like this ya'll,

Well, farmhand, waitress, pianist, singer

Name a job-I've worked it, it paid for my dinner

But life ain't about surviving

We strive to thrive out here

Ain't no progress being made

Paying rent and cutting clear

I live to make a change and I breathe to see the difference

My life is a testament

And this is how I live it

Cause life sometimes

It's all the same

But we need to make a change to see a better day

We need to make a change to see a better day

We need to make a change to see a better da-a-ay

Cause what are we if we're not in love

What does it mean if it don't come from above

People lose touch with what's pure and true

So all I ask of myself is to inspire you
