Lyrics
Verse:
I see that restless look in your eyes ... better put on my travelin' shoes
You got the urge ... I got the time ... for a road trip version of a gulf coast cruise
Dixie trekkin' lovers ... soul mates roaming the south
Sleepin' where we can on warm beach sand ... rolling 'till our money runs out
Chorus:
We're driftwood, you and me ... casting fate to the wind and sea
Carried away to who knows where ... floating without a care
Like driftwood, on the shore ... time makes me love you more
You're my muse and I'm your song ... we're slipping along ... like driftwood, you & me
Verse:
When we met on bikes on the Natchez Trace ... it was like we were friends for years
Same dreams ... schemes ... and everything ... leaving our pasts in a rear-view mirror
We made a promise then ... to follow our hearts on a whim
Now my suitcase has a travelogue face ... covered with where we've been
Chorus:
We're driftwood, you and me ... casting fate to the wind and sea
Carried away to who knows where ... floating without a care
Like driftwood, on the shore ... time makes me love you more
You're my muse and I'm your song ... we're slipping along ... like driftwood, you & me
Bridge:
From Key West to Mobile ... we swept down to New Orleans
Even ran on a beach in a Texas island town
Singing our love songs ... you and me all night long ... 'til the morning tide rolls out
Partial Verse:
Maybe someday we'll slow it down ... and our wandering ways will end
We'll find a cove ... where the wind don't blow; anchor on in ... but 'til then ...
Chorus:
We're driftwood, you and me ... casting fate to the wind and sea
Carried away to who knows where ... floating without a care
Like driftwood, on the shore ... time makes me love you more
You're my muse and I'm your song ... we're slipping along ... like driftwood, you & me
Driftwood, you & me ... like driftwood, you & me
