I wasn't born to travel, I was born to run away
Anyplace I end up I probably won't stay
But I wasn't born to break hearts, I was born to love
I'm just looking for the drifter to join me on the run
And after everyone I've left you'd think I would give up
Swallow some old pill that says the restless do not love
After I'd been hurt you'd think I'd hesitate to trust
But you could be the drifter to join me on the run
I wasn't born to need you every waking hour of the day
I was born to want you exactly this way
And I wasn't born to settle like a footprint in cement
I was born a bobcat and I'm wild as I can get
Chorus
Instrumental
After everyone I left you'd think I would give up
But I'm looking for the drifter to join me on the run
I'm looking for the drifter to join me on the run
I'm looking for the drifter to join me on the run
